Graffiti has always been an urban expressionist art form. Oft
times, both an expression of the human creative spirit and an outlet for
emotion, graffiti have covered the walls of high rises in every city of
the world. Is it any wonder that the art form soon moved to vehicles?
Here are the ten most unique and creative graffiti cars!
Volkswagen Golf
Apparently a work in progress when these pictures were taken, this
Volkswagen Golf is getting a new urban paint job. Newspaper around the
tires and windows protect everything but the body from getting painted.
This artist decided to go with flat and bright yellows and oranges to
give the car a fiery appearance. The lettering on the side almost gives
the appearance of flames, which look very cool at a distance.
Louisville Station Wagon
This station wagon went from average to awesome when it got it’s
Louisville graffiti paint job. Vibrant blues and oranges are soothed by
cooling purples and greens. Colorful stars dance down either side of
the station wagon, as a light brown banner wraps around the car boasting
pride for the owner’s city. This is certainly one great way to male an
otherwise average car stand out in a crowd!
Artistic Toyota
This car’s progression unfolds right before our eyes as it undergoes
graffiti artwork from a couple of young artists. Photographed at
different points throughout its creation, we gain a real sense of how
the artwork came together. The driver’s side door appears almost as
water with a purple and orange sky above. The hood art pays tribute the
graffiti artist’s best friend, the spray-can.
Graffitied Autobody Shop
This car appears to have been graffitied up along with the rest of
this shop. The shop looks to have been abandoned and cleaned out, except
for that singular car that remains behind. This huge abandoned room is a
perfect target for graffiti artists, and the car simply adds another
element to the art.
Euro-Art
This car is done in an artistically interestingly way. Beginning in
black and white from the hood and flowing to full vibrant color toward
the back, this work offers much to look a and take in. Interesting too,
is the fact that the back window is a totally separate piece from the
rest of the car. The entire rear end is a giant one eyed monster that
stares at all cars who travel close behind.
The Party Van
The artist, apparently by the name of Jimmy Steel, chose to spray up
this van in a myriad of loud, bright colors. Possibly an advertisement
for “Ron Mill’s Eastern Garage,” the car is covered roof to tire in
paint, and no space is spared. This is certainly not the car you want to
pick up your Saturday night date in!
The Urban Chameleon

At first glance the van is almost difficult to see! Graffitied as a
natural extension of the graffiti work on the wall behind it, this van
blends in quite well with its enviornment! One can imagine the van being
abandoned in front of such an excellent graffiti wall. No true artist
would allow that to stand in the way of his art! The solution, work it
into the mural.
Off-road Art
Urban art goes offroad with this graffitied-up jeep! Sporting the 420
numbers on the side, you can guess as to the inspiration for this piece
of art! The only concern here is that the rear windows are all painted
over! Seems like somewhat of a driving hazard, but saftey always looses
to expression, and this jeep is no exception.
Skate Star
Done up in green, black and purple paints, this Subaru wagon no
longer looks like every other mid 90’s car on the road! The driver
fancies himself a “Skate Star” and apparently wants the world to know
it!
Graffiti Marketing
Believe it or not, this car is actually a moving adverstisement.
Guerrilla Marketing at its finist, the driver appears to be the owner of
the URL painted onto the side of his wagon. Driving around in a mobile
billboard is a good way to expand your user base, especially in a busy
city!
