Now, if you’ve been reading along the past couple of days about the spray paint extravaganza that is the Cadillac Ranch, you might have a picture in your mind of the kind of folks who go out there to paint up some old cars. Art school students, maybe. Or tourists. Or disenfranchised youth. Or whatever.

But I’d be surprised if that image in your mind included this guy, in his western jeans and cowboy hat, who’d clearly come prepared for a long and colorful day of painting.
