We have some big art projects such as Garbage Art Trucks, Art Tanks, Semi Trucks and recently a Pink Freight Ship but never a big-o-dump truck that was airbrushed somewhere in Russia. So the story goes something like this:

Somewhere in Russia there is snow covered factory that's either abandoned or its the weekend. A bald dude with an airbrush is photographed air brushing the side of a Dump Truck. With then see a close up shot of the work in progress and then "Presto!!!", a giant art Dump Truck emerges out of a side door and ready for a dump run. Love it it!!! I think we will be seeing more of Konstantine airbrush work here on Art Car Central.

3 Cars + 3 Artist + 3 Skaters??? = The 3 Chevy Sonic Urban Art Car Series

3 Cars + 3 Artist + 3 Skaters??? = The 3 Chevy Sonic Urban Art Car Series

What do you get when you have 3 Cars + 3 Artist + 3 Skaters??? Obviously you have the Chevy Sonic Urban Art Cars Series. But if you ask me I don't really know how the math works out on this one especially when you add three skates into the mix but the folks over at Chevy know something I don't.

Not to be out done by Avis Art Cars, Chevy commissioned three artists to paint their new Chevy Sonics as part of their Urban Art Series. The series was sponsored by Chevy to bring together artists of different mediums. More specifically they paired urban skaters with visual artists to give the "fuel efficient" Chevy Sonic an urban art makeover that would let the car feel more "coooooomfortable" in urban settings.

In Part One the Chevy Sonic got the once over by Queens, New York, artist Alice Mizrachi who was paired up with pro skateboarders Rodney Torres and Eli Reed. Here is what we got, a Chevy with a cityscape wrapped around the car with Flushing Meadows Unisphere in Queens on the hood.

In Part Two Brooklyn tattoo artist John Reardon to put down some fresh ink on a Chevy Sonic, inspired by Queens, NY native Luis Tolentino showing off his skateboarding skills. The sonic got a complete flame job with skulls called "death" and the good part, the car didn't feel a thing.

In Part three LA Artist EnikOne throw down some amazing artwork on this brand new unsuspecting Chevy Sonic, featuring a design inspired by skater Keelan Dadd. EnikOne is a diverse multidisciplinary artist who has found the balance between graffiti, street art, graphic design techniques and the use of screen printing and stencil methods that allow him to make multiple copys of his work.

10 Great Ways To Paint a Volvo - Volvo getting in on the art car bandwagon

Painted Swiss Volvo Art Car Central
Volvo Art Car by Lowrider

Volvo is the latest company to get in on the art car band wagon along with BMW, Tesla and many others.

Last February at a rail station in Zurich ten groups of Swiss street artists painted and repainted Volvo S60 and canvas. It took five days to record the event with a camera mounted across from the exhibit that took a photo of the artists’ accomplishments every five seconds. The video by the way is fantastic. Over a period of five days approximately 35,000 commuters got a chance to see these graffiti street artist work their craft on a volvo art car.

One of the artist took advantage of the time-lapse photography and made their project into a very humporous stop-motion animation

“Our intentions with this art project was to express and emphasize in a creative and innovative way the design of the Volvo S60,” said Volvo Cars Switzerland president Anouk Poelmann.

The cars turned out great but its too bad they had to paint over each peace, it would have been great to see each of these art cars out on the road turning heads.

Mercedes Art Car or Illuminati Conspiracy

Mercedes Art Car or Illuminati Conspiracy
I am not sure what a half a Mercedes art car with the face of Karl Max and Jimi Hendrix means but here are some thoughts.

1) Goofy kid who thinks that Karl and Jimi were in a band together.

2) Artistic commentary: Karl Marx a German communist philosopher wrote against the capitalistic system in his Communist Manifesto is represented in this half Mercedes Art Car.

3) Its part of a secret government conspiracy and the government media complex funded by George Soros backed by the Bilderberg Group with roots in the Illuminati.  Their goal is to take over the world, and create a one world government in which the elite will rule the masses. They will do this by collapsing our current economic system and then setting up a new system making it mandatory for everyone to get implanted with a bio chip aka "the mark of the beast" in order to buy and sell products. They will start by cutting Mercedes cars in half, painting them with images of Karl Marx and then attaching them to federal buildings as a sign that the end is near.


4) Just a Mercedes Art Car.

What do you think this means???

This particular Mercedes Art Car was spotted at burning man some time ago. I am not sure the philosophy behind this piece but it looks like some dude went crazy on his brand new Merecedes with a can of paint. I wonder if the warranty covers crazy?

Christmas Spirit Manifested by Spray Painting a Limo?

Spray Painted Christmas Limo
(image credits:wikimedia)

The real Christmas spirit manifested right after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in the form of a spray painted limo right after Wal-Mart was looted for spray paint. It seems even in the midst of disaster and bad times, street "artists" found a way to offer peace and season’s greetings. This could very well be the image that best describes the last ten years, that means its time to get your mad max vehicles ready for the next ten.

I found this before and after shot of a camper van on the Plaza delos Dos Congresos parked near the Argentine National Congress as a form of protest by the owner about something or rather. Some months later the bus gets a fantastic makeover by a young French artist named Louis D’Anjou a.k.a 'GROLOU, who thought the bus needed a facelift. I think the new look is a vast improvement,nice work.

Art Parking Garage from Perth Australia




This private parking garage is located at the Condor Tower Car Park in Perth Australia was created by the Perth street art production group Ololo.They approached the construction manager of an inner-city skyscraper when they heard he hated the grey walls of the recently built Condor Tower five-storey car park. The three creative friends – Hurben, Shensing and Griv proposed a far more whimsical and creative solution to the bare walls, by allowing the group and their friends to embellish the interior with street art-inspired murals. Each floor has a theme based on the elemental planes of Earth - Space, Sky, Land, Underwater and Core; with both local and inter-state artists coming together to fill the space with color. Participating street artist ‘Creepy’ hopes the project will encourage similar ventures between urban developers and the creative community within Perth.
