MY LATEST STORY FOR @LATIMES: This artistic L.A. trucker turns road grime and elbow grease into mobile masterpieces. RT, porfas! latimes.com/local/californ… 
@latimes Arnulfo Gonzalez, a Mexican immigrant from Guadalajara, paints a new image every other week in the back of his box car. The short-haul driver then goes on his commute across Southern California -- if you're here, you've probably seen his work
@latimes Gonzalez coats the back of his troca with cooking spray, lets dirt accumulate, then begins to paint with Q-tips, his finger, and a brush. He even uses the soot from his tailpipe for the darkest blacks. Here's him doing @Canelo and @gggboxing two years ago. IT'S ALL MADE OF GRIME
@latimes @Canelo @GGGBoxing “Man, there’s so much talent hidden out there,” said Jonathan Aguilar, who owns a barber shop in the Norwalk strip mall where Gonzalez washes his truck. “And you don’t even know about it until you’re behind it.” Also check video by @mrmarkpotts/photos by @latfoto--BOOM
My only regret in the story is that me and my homie editor @hbecerraLATimes couldn’t work in the line “the Monet of mugre” somehow haha
