Urban Camouflage Art
Artist Joshua Callaghan has created a series of public art projects in Los Angeles, in which he places digitally printed adhesive vinyl on urban eyesores, such as electrical boxes. The graphics depict the scene that’s hidden behind the object, effectively “cloaking” the subject. The vinyl is permanently affixed and coated with a special chemical to prevent the occurrence of another urban eyesore, graffiti.
these should be EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!
these are awesome- thank you joshua!

Only works in places that are sunny all the time. They wouldn’t camouflage so well if there was snow!!
But that’s a really neat idea.
I think if some of them were taken at different angles for the pictures, they would have had a better effect. But they are absolutely fantastic!

How come graffiti is an eyesore? Those people may say that these are eyesores.
Did you think about birds?
People with low vision? (Who tend to
use bus stops, BTW.)
Low light? bike riders.
These will kill animals and people.
We have some of these in Vancouver.
not quite as cool - ours are covered in rhododendrons where there are no roddies lol and canadian patriot style stuff with various canadian icons (ie: maple leaves..) these are way cooler than ours.
You know, people could walk right into those.
