1. Drawing the Sun — TANAI & Ali Zakir in Almaty, KazakhstanA large mural of a barefoot child in patterned trousers and blue hoodie appears to draw a giant sun onto the side of an apartment block. The piece uses a strong upward perspective to enhance the child’s scale, adding warmth and innocence to the snowy urban setting.

2. Dinner SignA red “Do Not Enter” traffic sign is transformed into a minimalist bar scene. Three stick figures are seated and standing across the white strip, with one drinking from a martini glass.###
3. Electrocuted Homer — Oakoak in FranceHomer Simpson is painted in cartoon style, appearing to be electrocuted by a wall-mounted electrical box. His body is contorted in shock, cleverly interacting with real wires and outlets. More by Oakoak!: [**From Homer Simpson to Obelix: Oakoak’s Genius Street Art!

From the streets of **Moscow** to suburban **England**, dusty vans are being transformed into amazing mobile murals. This new collection features works by two artists who’ve mastered the art of grime: *ProBoyNick* (Nikita Golubev) and *James Gibson*. Look closely—these temporary pieces are etched into layers of dirt with breathtaking detail.##
🔗 Follow [****](https://www.instagram.com/proboynick/ )********[*ProBoyNick* on Instagram](https://www.facebook.com/DirtyVanArt/ )**** and **[Dirty Van Art on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/DirtyVanArt/ )**###
Hidden FacesA haunting group portrait emerges from the grime, with five distinct characters etched into the dust. Each face is expressive and unique, staring out like ghostly passengers behind imaginary windows.###
Joker Behind BarsA striking image of the Joker behind jail bars, recreated with high contrast by only removing dirt. His face is partially shadowed, and his hands hang through the imaginary bars.###
Cheburashka DoodleA light-hearted contrast to the other works: a simple sketch of Cheburashka, the iconic Russian cartoon character, smiles cheerfully through the dust.###
Battlefield SceneA detailed battlefield is revealed on this Transit van. Soldiers crouch behind terrain as others advance, with every element—from helmets to distant trees—scratched from dust.###
Deep Sea DiveFigures sink and float alongside sharks and sea creatures in this underwater fantasy. The composition moves diagonally, as if captured mid-descent.###
King and HorseThis dramatic nighttime piece depicts a regal figure in a crown beside a stoic horse, both rendered in sharp contrast against the van’s darkened dirt layer.###
CyklopA single large head rests with knees pulled in, arms wrapped around the legs. The style is minimalist but powerful, carved from dirt in long, careful strokes.###
RoboCop with a MessageA robotic figure, resembling Robocop, stands next to large text reading “ALL CATS ARE BEAUTIFUL,”.###
Castle RoadA whimsical castle looms in the distance down a long road, flanked by mountains and birds. It’s a fairytale etched into the back of a Sprinter van.###
Stormtroopers in TransitStormtroopers line the interior of what looks like a futuristic subway, with perspective drawing you into the tunnel.###
These dusty canvases prove that even the most unexpected surfaces can become sites for public art. Whether whimsical or intense, every piece here turns a dirty van into something unforgettable.###
