Last weekend, we helped Mark Alston-Follansbee in the annual repainting the exterior of his Toyota Camry. Over the years, his cars have been painted with suns and eyeballs, flames and waves, flowers and peace signs, hot-air balloons, a winking sun, a giant orange octopus. His art car has become a landmark around Somerville\u2014where he served as executive director of the Somerville Homeless Coalition until his retirement last year. We worked in the driveway of his Waltham home, adding alligators to the front bumper and tiger lilies around the headlights.<\/p>\n
