# Dirt Designed Autos The Reverse Grafitti Cars are Pollution-Produced Paintings By Regan Canie | Published 2011-09-28 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reverse-grafitti-cars References: [jalopnik](http://jalopnik.com/5842573/reverse-graffiti-painting-cars-out-of-pollution) & [fotorater](http://www.fotorater.com/magazine/photography/2011/09/reverse-graffiti-cars-hit-munich/) When extremely driven artist Moose Curtis teamed up with Fotorater creator Marc Cameron, the idea for Reverse Graffiti Cars came to be, and the concept soon went from zero to sixty in the form of a pressure washer. The twosome decided to create green street art in polluted areas around Munich to highlight the amount of distracting dirt while creatively cleaning up an empty space. Using a massive wood stencil and a power washer as a paintbrush, they produced exact replicas of popular environmentally conscious cars in black and white wall displays. Also referred to as grime-writing, the medium is Munich's newest style of green graffiti, and despite the fact that many locations were covered in a fine layer of filth, the designer duo proved beauty could be uncovered in an automotive, eco-friendly way. The Reverse Graffiti Cars are a great way to improve urban space while being conscious of the environment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 33% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Reverse Graffiti:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the use of reverse graffiti as a unique and environmentally friendly form of street art. - **Green Street Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop innovative techniques and materials for creating eco-friendly street art in polluted areas. - **Automotive Eco-friendly Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the automotive industry by focusing on eco-friendly and sustainable design solutions. ### Where This Applies - **Street Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new techniques and technologies for creating street art that is environmentally friendly and visually impactful. - **Environmental Services:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create new services and technologies for cleaning up and improving polluted urban areas using eco-friendly methods. - **Automotive:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new ways to design and manufacture cars that are environmentally friendly and visually appealing. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dynamic Artful Car Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-m-hybrid-v8.md) - [Painting-Inspired Artful Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bmw-art-car.md) - [Collaborative Monochromatic Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-monochromatic-art-exhibition.md) - [Graffiti Racer Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3000gt-vr4.md) - [Eco-Conscious Car Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motorglaze.md) - [Generative Art-Wrapped Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kaoru-tanaka.md) - [Dynamic Car-Themed Structures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veiled-porsche.md) - [Artistic Auto Showcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/20th-bmw-art-car.md) - [Sustainable Car Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-harvest-wind.md)
