There are some cars you park and forget, and then there are cars like this wildly painted Fiat 500 spotted in the Chelsea Gallery District that feel like they belong in a gallery all their own.

Covered in a riot of color, spray-paint swirls, drippy graffiti-style flourishes, and layered street art details, this little Fiat turns an ordinary curbside parking spot into an outdoor exhibition. The star of the design is impossible to miss: stretched across the hood is the soulful face of an owl, its giant golden eyes staring right back at you.

This piece is part of a series by a diabetic artist/photographer known as Appleton who aims to increase Diabetes Awareness through his art.

This little dude, who  I am just going to call Phil, is by a street artist also named Phil.  He resides in a derelict Fire Alarm Box mounted on a light pole at the northwest  corner of West 21st Street and 10th Avenue, in the Chelsea Gallery District. The only other post I was able to find on Phil leads me to believe this piece has been on the street since 2011. That’s a long ass time in NYC Street Art Life. Continue reading Meet Phil →
