What is Art*o*mat®?

What is Art*o*mat? Created by Clark Whittington in 1997, Art*o*mat® machines are retired cigarette machines that have been converted to VEND ART! For only $5 you can collect paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, jewelry, glass, mixed media and more -all the size of a pack of cigarettes. There are over 100 active machines in various locations throughout the country. "Mat," the machine featured in this road trip blog, was the first Art*o*mat® hosted in Washington state in 2005 and now "MAThilda" is proud to be the first machine hosted in New Mexico, debuting in February 2013.

The Travel Case/Cover is Made

Our uniform sweat shirts, the dolly/rack, and now, the machine's spiffy traveling case/cover has been designed and sewn. Thank you, Corky, for your infinite wisdom and innovation!

We will try it out (actually test run the loading/offloading into the minivan process) on Tuesday or Wednesday when the weather gets a little better for our "Goodbye Tacoma" photoshoot. We're planning stops at famous landmarks like Bob's Java Jive and the Native American Welcoming Figure downtown. We welcome any suggestions, so please leave a comment if you readers are so inclined. Our road trip begins one week from tomorrow. So exciting!
