Taking the Show on the Road: 4 Imagined Art Vehicles

John Green Bookmobile

A hit with nerdy teenagers, this truck runs on the manic energy of its namesake. It makes a million dollars every time it circles the block.  

 

 

 

Eiteljorg Covered Wagon

Once full of dusty relics, this coach has been transporting a lot of cool pistols, motorcycles, and guitars lately. Tip your hat to that lady when she rolls by, son. 

 

 

 

 

Palladium Luxe Truck

It may be behind on payments, but it sounds a lot better than some of the jalopies that host concerts in Marion County. 

 

 

 

 

Kinsey Institute Gallery Bus

Not allowed within 100 feet of a school, this curtains-drawn ride does a lot of rocking. Better not go knocking.

Comiskey joined the magazine in 2006, shortly after completing an MA in journalism at Indiana University. During graduate school, he served as arts & culture editor of the Indiana Alumni Magazine and wrote for newspapers throughout the state. Comiskey’s longform features have won a number of Society of Professional Journalists Awards, and have taken him inside sperm banks, across the country in a semi, and to the home of the world’s smallest books. He lives in Zionsville with his wife and three children.
