Corrie McKeague, 23, vanished on a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk
The 42-year-old used his so-called "graffilthy art" to create an image of Gunner McKeague on a unwashed van and included contact details for anyone who may information about his whereabouts.
He said: "Anything that can make a few more people aware - if it's seen by someone and leads to more information that would be great."
Gunner McKeague's mother Nicola Urquhart described the image as "amazing" and hoped the "unusual" artwork would help raise awareness of her missing son.

She said: "It really is a fantastic likeness, I really can't believe he has done that on a back of a van.
"It's so unusual, I've never seen anything like it before. I think it will get people talking."
It is feared that the Gunner McKeague originally from Dunfermline in Fife, in Scotland may have tried to walk the ten miles home from Bury St Edmunds to his base.
