MINI Cooper ART: Show it!

This is a thread for Mini-related artwork.

I've seen everything from cars to tattoos... some commercial,
a lot home-made or artist-created. Let's get it in one place!
Show it if you've got it!

- This EXCLUDES modifications to your or anyone else's Mini
- The possible exception being real "art cars"
- Must conform to Forum guidelines, of course - keep it PG!

I'll kick it off with a few I've done just for fun (prepared for
display at the PittStopMINI Dragon Draggin' competition at MOTD).

Yes, I have to clean the keyboard. Badly:

I love creativity. I HAVE none, but I love looking at others' products!

Something I bashed out for Sin City Mini, which may have been too demonic!

Made these from 1/2" thick aluminum.
