Joshua Callaghan is a Los Angeles-based artist and film maker who was hired to create artwork that would cover nine utility boxes in the Los Angeles area. The utility boxes are covered with pictures of the environment located around them in order to help them blend in with their surroundings. The digital images found on the utility boxes are made from printed adhesive vinyl with a Teflon over laminate.Official Site: Boxart
