The Rusty Iris Kills It at Burning Man

Y'all, Rusty killed it at Burning Man. KILLED IT!

You would have been so proud - we certainly were, and are!

Gift from a random stranger, who decided The Rusty Iris was the MotherF*#$ing Champion of Burning Man 2025

Rusty received so much love at the Big Show! People loved it that Rusty was "old school" - an art car that had been lovingly sculpted from a vanilla vehicle into an extraordinary rolling sculpture!

Jaws dropped when people found out Rusty is street legal and that she had driven all the way across the country - ON THE STREET - for her debut at Burning Man.

The Burning Man Department of Mutant Vehicles rep (who had to inspect Rusty before Rusty was allowed to drive on the Burning Man playa) - was astonished that this was Rusty's first year because Rusty was so well prepared and constructed.

When Rusty was parked on the playa, folks came trotting over to dance in her glow because "you guys play the best music!"

And on Burn Night (the crescendo of the event when the Man bonfire occurs), Rusty was right there, up front, taking it all in with her brother and sister art cars from around the world, circling the Man and celebrating creativity.

Thanks to each of you for your love and support, seeing us through each and every step of Rusty's evolution. And as always with Rusty, THERE WILL BE MORE!
