I would have loved to have seen that!The Village Voice had a full page center spread sometime between '77-'79 with landscape photos of grafitti murals spread over an entire car side. They were well drawn and elaborate. I did not come on earlier in this thread, but I also assume it's been discussed before - how obvious it is, that the idea of car wrapping commercials probably was directly influenced by those car length muraals/ tag ups. Speaking of legit "murals" might also want to check out the dinosaur designs on the Isle of Wight 1938 Tube Stock: Model photo: http://www.ehattons.com/40438/EFE_99935_2_car_1938_tube_set_in_Dinosaur_livery_as_per_Isle_of_Wight_not_motorised_/StockDetail.aspx Actual photo of the tube stock in service: http://www.metromodels.net/IOW_dino_38b.jpg |
