Talk about lightweight: a life-sized Hummer made from Styrofoam
The SF Gate has an unusual article about artist Andrew Junge's latest work: a Hummer sculpted out of Styrofoam. Andrew scavenged the Styrofoam from the trash while at SF Recycling & Disposal's Artist In Residence Program. The Hummer, made from measurements of a bio-diesel Hummer, is 17 feet long, 6 feet high, and over 8 feet wide. The Styrofoam Hummer was recently shown at the Tampa Museum of Art. GM, give Andrew a call and buy this piece! It would be a hit at car shows and the shipping would be next to nothing because it's so light. Check out the gallery below with close ups of the Hummer.

Dave, I don't think it would be blown money if it gets them free advertising. Car shows are all about getting attention and this would get attention. I think it would go over better than Jeep's water fall...

How about GM invest in the Volt and not waste money on art... No offense, but GM shouldn't blow investor dollars on stuff like this. Individuals should.

Dave, I disagree. It would be pretty cool if GM purchased this. I see it being used in a plethora of ways but what sticks out in my mind is a future ad for the Chevy Volt or something. After all, what is more of an oxymoron than a featherweight Humvee? There could be a connection made. Perhaps I'm bias though. I'm an advertising and design student.

GM would not be so wise to buy it, as it may be symbolic of the hummer being ungreen (styrofoam, hummer, hummer, styrofoam--anyone?)
