This project begins with a golf-cart that my dad has wanted to take out to Burning Man for the last couple of years. I can't say with any certainty why it has become an elephant. The general proportions of an elephant cover the base golf-cart fairly well.

An Asian / Indian elephant theme offers plenty of inspirational depth to mine. You might even imagine a backstory involving wayward gypsies making their way home from the Hippie Trail after years of roaming the Near & Far East. Perhaps adopting the local mode of transportation for their return after trading a VW micro-bus for a poorly remembered mystical, transcendental experience.
