A few weeks ago, I was walking down Sclater Street and discovered a brightly-coloured blue and green wall by Stika (Josh Stika), whose work I recognised around east London. At first glance, the mural looked unfinished, but I immediately noticed the car parked next to it and that the car was painted like the mural. The car was a part of the mural, and I thought that this was cool. As I was stepping back to take a photograph of it, the owners of the car appeared and got inside. One of them went over to near where I was in order to get a photograph. I had to compliment the artwork, which he said was done by his friend. (Apologies for the photograph not being straight on; I wasn't able to take one straight on.)
This street art is actually a PR stunt for Vauxhall car manufacturer to raise awareness of their car 'Adam'. This is meant to represent the customisation options of their Opel Adam car. Even though it is a PR stunt, it does still look good to me. I like the concept of using street art to advertise in unique ways, such as this, though I think that this is probably a little frowned on in the street art world.
