MUSCLE MUSE

Scharf chose to work with one of the Original 16 cars, the Custom T-Bird. Then he added surreal characters and other colorfully distinct elements to his masterpiece. Finally, in true Karbombz! style, he recreated his design at 1:1 scale, which will be inducted into the Garage of Legends.

As an early voice in the Pop Surrealism movement, Scharf was a groundbreaking contemporary street artist. His pieces often feature amorphous characters either familiar or fantastical, rendered in a dynamic and maximalist style.
