” He just wants to share his art with people.”
Columbus, Georgia resident Micheal Muhammad’s probably seen this Nissan SUV with action figures and toys stuck onto before, so when he saw it again, driving through the Cross Country Plaza Shopping center, he whipped out his camera and took some video.
Check out his video below.
“One question,” Micheal asks. “How many you got on here? 500?“
“500?” the man in the SUV responds. “(More like) about 3,000, man.”
If you’re wondering who this man is and why he’s done this to his own SUV, local news has previously reached out to him before, getting his side of the story.
His name is coincidentally also Michael (Angelo Jackson) and, when interviewed by the Ledger-Enquirer to get to the bottom of his rolling art project, they found out his intentions were quite wholesome.
Jackson got the idea to put on his first action figure on his 2008 Nissan Armada after sitting around the house, some time after getting hurt and on disability.
After the first one, presumably, it grew from there.
“I’m going to do what makes me happy, and I get more input on the good side than on the bad side,” Jackson says.
“Michael Angelo’s world of art…it’s just something that makes me happy.”
Muhammad, the guy who brought us this latest update, further clarified what Jackson means.
“He (Jackson) likes art and believes it’s (his Nissan Armada) art, Muhammad explains. “Everyone has created lies about why this dude began doing this. I’ve personally spoke with him about it a while back.”
“He didn’t start this because his children died, they have cancer, or anything like that. Those rumors are created by social media.
So, there you have it, Jackson’s just a man who did something to his Nissan that makes him happy, period.
And, since it’s brought more positivity than negative energy, he’ll continue to grow his rolling world of art.
I think we can all take a page from Jackson’s book to do what makes us happy, regardless of what people will think.
That being said, if I lived in Colombus, I’d keep at least a car length between Jackson’s Armada and my own car.
You never know when that mixture of gorilla glue and nail polish fails, sending a Funko pop into your windshield.
