It is stationed outside an artists centre in Mexico. Here in Vancouver we recently had a group of artists created a so-called knitted bus - but all the knitting was printed vinyl that was adhered to the bus. I'm not sure what I think about it yet...what's your opinion? Here's some small pics of the 'Afghan Bus': http://www.instantcoffee.org/projects/shows/trans.phtml Hi Jessica, I think the bus may be a stationary one.
