Car Art & Models by Illustrator & Macy's Parade Artist, Joel Naprstek

What do NNL East, 1/32 scale models, and car art have in common with The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade? A conversation with artist Joel Naprstek reveals his family racing heritage (Nutley Velodrome!) and the impact of the School of Visual Arts. And they remember Doug's K&K Insurance Dodge Charger.
