Cars painted by stencil artist John Grider
John Grider is an incredible artist based in Minneapolis who I've written about before, tangentially. I first saw his work on canvas, and then he branched out to huge murals on house walls. I was looking through his Flickr photostream this week, and found that lately he's been decorating cars... like this '48 Hearse, bedecked in a pile of red skulls.
If you like that, he also used his trademark goat design to embellish vans and cars, including a Saturn that looks like my old car! Except that if my car had featured a paint job by John G., I would not have sold it.

OMG this guy is a real artist. When I saw the title I thought John hadn't anything special, but this overcame all my expectations. He has a great talent to paint cars.
Thanks for your insights. I will try to read all of the papers you highlight, specially the oldest one. You have a particular genius for identifying (hopefully) promising alternatives to the many ways of canvas and its styles.
Mm, that hearse seems to be modified to rat rod-ness too, which is pretty cool in itself. The skulls kick the style into overdrive! It's a shame that there's not a lot of artists like these available for customizing cars, don't you think?
Very cool love it !
