Airbrushed Bus Photography

Daniel Hofer's Photos Capture Artwork on Bolivian Buses

— August 31, 2014 — World
Bolivian Busses is a photo series, put together by German photographer Daniel Hofer, that captures the vibrant and colorful airbrushed art that adorns the public buses traveling from the Bolivian capital La Paz into the Amazon Basin.

Daniel Hofer happened to come across the vehicles in Villa Fatima, a small neighborhood from which passengers and products were ferried to and from the jungle by bus. The buses were the only thing that stood out in Villa Fatima, a poor area.

The artwork on the buses depict a variety of famous fictional characters from pop culture as well as real-life personalities. These include WWE stars, biblical figures, cartoon characters and religious and mythological figures.

The photo series carries a mysterious nature due to the fact that the artist who painted the buses hasn't been identified.
Trend Themes
1. Vibrant Transportation Decor - There is an opportunity for artists and designers to partner with transportation companies to add airbrushed artwork to buses and other public transport.
2. Mysterious Street Art - The popularity of unattributed street art like the artwork on Bolivian buses creates opportunities for marketers and art collectors to create and sell anonymous art pieces.
3. Culturally Inspired Designs - There is an opportunity for fashion and interior designers to create clothing and home decor inspired by the colorful designs seen on Bolivian buses.
Industry Implications
1. Public Transportation - Public transportation companies could embrace the use of airbrushed artwork on buses and train cars to help create a more enjoyable and unique experience for riders.
2. Street Art - Marketers and art collectors could partner with anonymous artists to create and sell unattributed art pieces like the artwork found on Bolivian buses.
3. Fashion and Interior Design - Designers could create clothing and home decor inspired by the colorful designs seen on Bolivian buses, tapping into a culturally inspired trend for unique and eye-catching designs.
