Life, art & the road
In two years, Transit Antenna could be a mail-order art studio, a washateria or an American art success story.
As the 6 1/2 artists pulled onto the LSU campus, the crew was still learning to live in a converted city bus and keep their ride’s vegetable oil-fueled engine running.
“We have a small house, I guess,” said 9-year-old Taylor Snead, son of full-grown artists Bob and Dawn Snead.
The Sneads, Amy McBrine, Josef Kristofoletti, Seth Gadsden and Jamie Self left Charleston, S.C, about two months ago in a two-vehicle caravan — a 26-year-old city bus and a 1989 Pace Arrow RV.
“We’ve tried to stay away from a modus operandi,” said Bob Snead, 28, whose master’s degree in painting is from Yale University.
“Originally, it was Dawn and me talking about going across the country,” Snead said.
