<p>Sometimes great garage doors aren&rsquo;t planned, they end up being thrust upon us. Such was the case of a corrugated garage door belonging to Imgur user <a href="http://imgur.com/a/GMlwn">elusive92</a>. When the door&rsquo;s owner discovered some unsightly and unskilled graffiti had disgraced his garage door one May morning in 2013, he didn&rsquo;t get mad, he got even&hellip; even<em> better</em>, thank goodness all they did this time was graffiti but not everyones that lucky, if you&rsquo;re not that fortunate and need your garage door repaired then checkout <a href="https://www.premium-garage-doors.com/glendale-heights/" alt="" title="">Garage Door Repair in Glendale Heights, IL.</a> they&rsquo;ll be able to help.</p>

<p>Taking the old adage<em> &ldquo;when life gives you lemons, make lemonade&rdquo;</em> to heart, elusive92 <a href="http://www.artfido.com/blog/some-kids-graffiti-ed-this-mans-garage-door-his-revenge-is-simply-awesome/">hired</a> local graffiti artist <a href="http://www.graffiti-aachen.com/en/home.html">Lake13</a> to not only cover the anonymous scrawling but replace it with a work of graffiti art &ndash; with the emphasis on the <em>art</em> part. We think he succeeded rather well, don&rsquo;t you?</p>
<h4>Community Communion</h4>

<p><em>&ldquo;Every time I drive by this house, I marvel,&rdquo;</em> admits Flickr user <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/williamkeckler/8345947551/in/photolist-dHvarr">William Keckler</a>., who titles his photo taken in early December of 2012 <em>&ldquo;The Holy Sacrament of the Garage Door&rdquo;</em>. No telling what&rsquo;s parked inside&hellip; perhaps the Popemobile.</p>
<h4>&ldquo;To The Broke-Ass Batcave!&rdquo;</h4>

<p>Looking to produce an ultra-low-budget Batman flick? Well look no further than South St. in Philadelphia, where one creatively painted corrugated roll-up garage door says so much with just two colors. Eric from <a href="http://www.geekadelphia.com/2008/07/18/batman-garage-door-sweetest-door-on-south-st/">Geekadelphia</a> snapped the bargain-basement Batcave door way back in July of 2008 &ndash; let&rsquo;s hope it hasn&rsquo;t been painted over by Alfred since then.</p>
<h4>Arts Of The West</h4>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/creative-garages-4a-960x720.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-95161" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/creative-garages-4a-644x483.jpg" alt="creative-garages-4a" width="644" height="483"></a></p>
<p>The above creative composition was included in a portfolio of garage doors by <a href="http://www.rccabinetsandclosets.com/blog/2015/2/7/garage-door-art-decals">RC Cabinets &amp; Closets</a> as an example of a &ldquo;garage door decal&rdquo;. We&rsquo;ve seen garage door decals and frankly, this ain&rsquo;t no garage door decal. The above tableau doesn&rsquo;t appear to be a decal at all &ndash; note how the painted portions extend off the garage door itself. Odds are this exquisite door is a unique creation as well.</p>
