    • Oh My! Pocket Pies : “Paint Our Food Truck” Contest

    Posted on | September 25, 2009 |

    Have you ever seen bad graffiti/tags on food trucks and thought you could do better? Here’s your chance:  Oh my! Pocket Pies (OMPP) has just launched a “Paint Our Food Truck” challenge,” open to all Houston artists who want the opportunity to paint the startup restaurant’s truck. Any style is accepted, including graffiti, pop, abstract, …whatever your imaginative heart desires. To compete, artists must submit a detailed sketch of their idea by email to info@ohmypocketpies.com

    OMPP is a new inner-loop mobile food vendor, owned by Joe Phillips and Joanna Torok who were united through a dedication and deep passion for urban sustainability. Torok explains:

    OMPP was created out of an appreciation for the local talents and resources that exist in the local Houston economy. We’re showcasing Houston products in our menu options; we will be supported by Houston residents; we wanted to continue that thread completely through our entire concept and find a Houston artist to help promote his or her work.

    While there is no financial compensation for the winning artist, Phillips calls it “a great opportunity for your name and artwork to be promoted across Houston on the side of our truck, and on the ‘links’ page of our website.”

    All materials to paint the truck will be paid for. All entries must be submitted by Wednesday, October 7 at midnight.

      Very cool. And very RenGen. Reminds me of the City of Philadelphia’s project to paint garbage truck, only OMPP trucks sound much more savory!

      I was speaking highly of you today and rec’ing your blog to someone when I saw this … wanna talk small world - Joe & Joanna are friends of mine and asked me to help get the word out about their little contest/business venture. Even tried to get them out to Foam Raiser but they aren’t ready yet. WOWZAS this world is just too tiny.
