It was one of the rarest and most ambitious government-supported projects — one that I personally helped push to happen. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.
It was a wild time: spending nearly every weekend for half a year in the trolleybus yard, painting one vehicle after another. In total, I painted 16 old Škoda trolleybuses. Some were based on my own sketches, others were collaborations with illustrators, and a few came from concepts provided by the Kaunas City Municipality’s Communication Department.

The project, titled “Atia Senienos” (“Goodbye Old”), transformed the city’s aging Škoda trolleybuses into moving pieces of street art. In total, about 85 trolleybuses were planned to receive unique designs before being replaced by the new Solaris fleet. Each artwork reflected a different aspect of Kaunas — from its architecture and cultural heritage to local humor and everyday life.

Participating artists included Tadas Vincaitis, K. Grubis, Spray Way, and many others. The initiative turned the city’s public transport into a vibrant gallery on wheels — one of the most ambitious street art experiments ever organized by a Lithuanian municipality.
