Mobile Art Gallery in a Moving Truck

May 1, 2014

U-Haul trucks are best known for bringing people and their belongings to their new homes, but in photographer Kevin Dowling’s story, a U-Haul truck brought him something more: success. Most artists will tell you that success in their industry requires great talent and great timing. This combination, plus a U-Haul truck all played a part in Kevin’s story. Check out his story below:

When it comes to renting a moving truck, remember there are more uses than one with a U-Haul truck. Kevin turned his moving truck into a mobile art gallery in an hour and a half, using rope, binder clips, clamp lights, and a surge protector. By running rope from the front end of the truck to the back, he was able to clip his prints to the rope using binder clips. For lighting, he duct-taped clamp lights to the ceiling running into a surge protector.

With his mobile art gallery up and running, Kevin parked his moving truck in front of a popular bar and the rest was history. Read the whole story here. Below are some of the images he sold to an unexpected buyer:
