Description:
Wicked Campers began in 2001 in sunny Brisbane, Australia by a flock of psychedelic seagulls. The gulls discovered that if they ate certain seeds & berries, they could defecate intense colours and patterns on passing vehicles, thus changing the landscape of Australian Highways forever.
The gulls sold the camper hire company to founder, John Webb for a packet of Doritos in late 2001, who immediately recruited graffiti artists – a rag-tag army of freaks, fire-breathers and mushroom-eaters, to replace the seagull artists. Since 2001, Wicked has grown exponentially, with over 1,000 vehicles in Australia as well as 46 locations across the globe - including Depots in the UK, Europe, New Zealand, South Africa, Japan, Canada, USA & Chile!
