Step aside Banksy, a new British underground artist has sprung up in Essex and he has been described as the new “Van” Gogh.
That’s because Mr Konjusha, as he likes to be called, creates artwork on the back of dirty white delivery vans.
Photos of his work have popped up on social media causing a stir across the pond.
The 22-year-old East Londoner has drawn on the backs of 10 vans thus far and completes his creations in about five minutes.

He told BBC News he began doing it to “put a smile” on delivery drivers’ faces.

“Sometimes they can be a bit grumpy in the mornings when I speak to them, so I just thought I’d do something to cheer them up,” he said.
“They seem to really like it.”
When he first began to turn dust into delightful images, drivers were left wondering who was creating the artwork but word has spread.
“People are asking for a drawing now. They say they’re going to save money by not washing their vans and then they can get a picture instead.”
