Welcome to Scherer Graffiti!
My name is Matt Scherer and I am a graffiti artist specializing in freestyle graffiti art. I am located in Central Illinois about 45 minutes northeast of Peoria in a small farm town. I started out painting demolition derby cars which is still a primary part of my business but I have also expanded into other areas as well. I work with many different kinds of clients and their projects whether it be a garage/basement wall for someone's home, barns, dirt track car, dumpsters, or a business looking for a unique way to showcase their logo.
As I mentioned, I got my start in graffiti by painting demolition derby cars. Having grown up in rural Illinois, Demolition Derby was a big part of my summers. In 2021, with the suggestion of a friend and life long driver, I was asked to "spray paint" on their cars. I had always brushed painted but with some practice, I soon found using spray paint was a much faster and easier technique for me. After painting a few of their cars, I decided to combine my artistic talent with my love of derbies and start "tagging" cars. When asked what I love most about doing graffiti, only one answer comes to mind, its working with drivers and clients to give them something "unique". Whether it be a derby driver, homeowner or business owner, I appreciate the time, the money and the hard work people put into their project and to have them ask me to put my art when its all done, is a definite honor and dream.
On this site you will find several of the cars I've had the privilege of painting along with other projects I have completed. You will also find the shows where I will be tagging and other information. If you are interested in having me do a project for you, please see my contact page. Thank you for checking out my site & let me know if I can help you!
