Car license plates are the passports of the cars on which they are attached. From them you can get a lot of information about the car and its owner. First of all, you can find out in which region of your country this car is registered. This is the geographical principle and the artist decided to apply Dave Bowmanwho created the series USA maps from license plates.
Geographic maps can not only be drawn or printed, but also compiled in the form of a collage. Examples of this statement include the World Map made from computer chips, typographic maps from Axis Maps, or stereotyped maps of Europe. And artist Dave Bowman, owner of his own studio, Design Turnpike, creates maps of the United States of America from car license plates.
Each of the License Plate Art and Maps by Dave Bowman is a kind of collage. This collage consists of old car license plates collected by the author during a trip around the country or bought on the Internet. Moreover, these numbers are cut so that their outlines repeat the outlines of the state to which they correspond.
Large states such as California and Texas are made from several license plates at once. But Hawaii, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware and other baby states probably took less than a tenth of their numbers.
In addition to maps of the entire United States of America, Dave Bowman and his company Design Turnpike also create maps of individual states. The author sells all his crafts via the Internet - there are quite enough people who want to. Moreover, Bowman does each of his work in accordance with the wishes of the customer. The dimensions of the map, its materials, colors, and final forms depend on them. As a result, each of the cards in the License Plate Art and Maps series becomes unique, original, inimitable.

So, broken hard drives in the hands of craftsmen turn into original sculptures, small details become unusual decorations, and motherboards, wires, coolers and microchips do
Dynamo car: original car advertisement
Attempts to attribute human feelings to inanimate objects are always interesting. The authors of the original ad tried to play out a real tragedy in the space of a creative poster.
