FOSTERS ICE VAN APRIL 1995

April 1995. Just after the Fosters Ice 'Street Art' events stash was flown in from New York to paint a 21 window Samba VW campervan. It took ages to find and eventually came from Sweden I think. I was well into v dubs at the time and had a beetle (seen in the pics) and a convertible karmann Ghia which I still have. It was my idea to find a van to customize for fosters to use a promotional vehicle for the campaign. Over a cold weekend we set to with Buntlack and stencils, it had to be finished for monday morn , MOT'd,  Taxed and then off to an event. More pics coming soon of the finished van when I can find em!

Old skool rims !
Stash rocked a wild style piece with POSCA for the back window

Stash applying some more paint, after the Buntlack ran out on Sunday and London Graphics was closed!  That was it I had to drive to Camden to a car shop to pick up some crap english CARPLAN paint. Stash was suitably worried about it, sorry we didint have KRYLON or RUSTOLEUM ! 
























To add a few finishing touches I added some pinstriping with POSCA
We added some stencils at the end
