A commenter pointed out that one or two of these images appear to be photoshopped, most likely mock ups of a scene that the artist intended to create. The commenter took a lot of heat, but does appear to be correct. The fifth-to-last image (the before) and fourth-to-last (the after) show it pretty clearly if you check out the clouds.

Possibly, but also maybe the other way around. Perhaps they didn't have a before picture of the scene from the right angle, so the before one is photoshopped?

True, I hadn't thought of that!

#16So much nicer than filling the space up with billboards. It's a bit of a shame that the default artwork for a lot of outside space is paid advertising.
There are a couple countries where it is common to have intricate art on the outside of certain large vehicles. Like private buses in Haiti[1] or trailer trucks in Pakistan[2]. I don't know if there would be any possibility of renting out the surface area to advertisers instead, but I did hear a podcast once analyzing the economics of paying to have the private busses in Haiti decorated. If I recall, it basically came down to a feeling in the population that it was more prestigious to go through the city in something beautiful. Perhaps proof of the "value" of art that works even within a first-year economics class.

Nasty. That's totally irresponsible. At night in an unfamiliar neighborhood that could easily cause a fatality.
Then consider this ... :-/

Looking at the artist's webpage[0], you can find videos[1] of the work as well as different angles. The before/after effect does look fake, though. I think you are right that the before picture is the one being photoshopped.

That's a different angle on the last one in the article.

In Argentina it was usual that the bus had "fileteado". It was a 10 or 20 years ago, and the reason was that the bus lines were something like a cooperative and each bus driver was the owner of his bus. But in the recent times, the bus lines have a more usual company structure and the buses are owned by the company, so each bus has a standard color. Anyway, they still have some internal custom decoration, so in many cases you can recognize which bus you take if you use the line frequently. Also it's usual now to have advertising outside the bus.
