Ali’s family has been in this business for the last 60 years, he claims, “We [Pakistanis] have perfected this skill and it is the only art form in the Subcontinent which is so unique to us.”

Ali has not only travelled around the world promoting his art, he has also used to it convey a message of friendship and peace when he painted a truck as an Eid gift to India.

Ali, who owns a workshop in Garden East and Maripur, has so far travelled to the US, England, Turkey and India.

Misleading Headline from the publisher, ive changed the title to proper one

One of the things on my bucket list is to get a VW BEETLE, preferably of an old make and have it painted in the truck art.

That FJ cruiser is going to turn heads wherever it goes.

personally i dont like this kind of art (my personal opinion), but i seriously loves the reflector works that usually done on container its looks amazing in nights

These truck arts are very hard and jarring on the eye:wacko:. I think solid color presents a pleasant view for small area of canvas. Lot of of details in small canvas area that an eye can comprehend at first look. It does look good on the big canvas where the details of the art can be appreciated without giving strain to your eyes and brain.

Whenever i see trucks painted like that I assume that it is an old creaky truck, painted to hide the age and wear/tear of the truck.
