  Seems like the box itself could also be padded seats for the boat. Boatomobile 2.0. Love your stuff.

    Juan: Thank you! Yes, the box could contain the padded boat seats. I drew the Boatomobile in black and white for my first book, WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW, in 1984, but colored it in Photoshop a year or so ago. Today, I would change the odd, aerodynamically-awkward front windshield into a normal angle, and perhaps make the rear end of the boat (and car) boxy and more vertical. I have so much fun doing these things I am surprised it is not illegal.

      Hi Steven, 

      
      

      I LOVE this concept. I have been a fan of your for a little while. I love your Have Fun Inventing book. We share an appreciation for whimsical design. I sent you an email to the email listed on that image. Is that recent? I would love model out some of these concepts and create some fun renders.

      Lauren Thomas: I very much want to know anyone who shares a love for whimsical design! The email address is correct; your message got to me today. I am hoping we can get to know each other and share ideas. I need to know more about 3D modeling. We will continue to chat by email.

      Steve
