2007 Lotus Exige S by ERIC HAZE
by Eugene Kan, November 19, 2008
Among the highlights of last month’s Downshift Session 2008 was a custom painted 2007 Lotus Exige S done by respected artist Eric Haze. Just recently, Eric Haze has offered a great deal of insight into the project and how it came about. Given only 5 days, Haze had to ensure his plans were executed flawlessly given the limited time frame and the necessity to use “quick drying and very unforgiving old school pinstripers enamel that was best suited for the job”. The car is currently up on the auction blocks to help raise funds for the charity “Studio In A School” on Grand St. in Manhattan. The auction can be seen at eBay.com while a full run-down of the project from Haze himself can be seen over at his blog.
art on car makes it look like a cat. i’m not feeling it
LOTUS = crap car
ART on car = cool
And you got the nerve to put “OG” in front of your name.. Do your research young’n.. Haze is a O.G. “Original Graff”artist. I swear man, some of ya’ll don’t know shit if it jumped up and smacked you in the face. Hypebeast indeed. Feeding the ones that don’t know sheeyt!
OGJayB is funny. This cat must not have a clue of whats has been popping in the streets. Haze is a true OG when it comes to Graff. That fool said “True Talk” like he knows who Haze is and what he is about. True talk…JayB aint an OG and the B stands for Baby.
OGJayB….you need to go back to your Hip-Hop 101. you cop that haze dunk because of the HYPE. HAZE has been contribute the Hip-Hop game for years even before you can walk. I think the hype has gotten to your head. FaKeJayB
looks cool, but would look alot cooler if keith harring was alive and did it. just saying…
I wish it was drippy, Krink style.
True talk…if it wasn’t for the 1st Haze dunks, nobody would know who this guy is and it has gotten to his head. i dont think he’s that talented AT ALL. its my opinion. LOL @ This looking like a retarded zebra…because it does.
eric haze is a great artist…i’m not really into cars but this was not a very good idea…i don’t think the two aesthetics work well together.
not a hater its just not mind blowing at all whatsoever.
ohhhh stripes on a car….omg omg!!!! it looks like a retarted zebra. id paint over this shit.
i would buy this car and paint it over if i had the bread. i felt like it could have been done so much better. for all those who are about to hate im aware of the 5 day deadline…. but w/e i expected more than a bunch of lines on a car
This reminds me of the Andy Warhol BMW collection (go check that our right now!).
BUT, this Exige is awesome!
how is this art? paint job is thrash… he ruined that lotus.
is cool man….Haze……….
I his name keith harings as well, or what…
Haze is a great artist! And I don’t like cars, but this makes me smile.
