University where he worked for 12.5 years.
Cushman was
born in Springfield, Illinois and attended Illinois College in
Jacksonville, where he received a B.A. in Studio Art. He attended Cranbrook Academy of Art, Detroit, MI where he received and MFA in Painting.
Cushman and a road crew of family and friends and students participated in the Annual Art Car Parade
in Houston, TX (1998 – 2001). In 1998 the crew transformed a 1976 Delta
88 into the Peanutmobile. A car covered in actual peanuts. The down
side of creating an organic work of art is the rot factor. Rats eat
the car, dogs eat the car and even kids eat the car. This spring
(2000) the Delta 88 was transformed into the TIE ROD. Over 1400
donated men’s neckties were attached to the auto.
