Dirty Car Art!!!

So to make up for my one day absence that I didn't even realize I had, I start writing last night about art and porn...then I fell asleep. So I was still intending to write the art/porn article for today, but something way cooler was brought to my attention.

Dirty Car Art!

No kidding, there's an artist by the name of Scott Wade who has become known for his art done in dirty car windows. From his site, Dirtycarart.com:

“Like any reasonably creative and curious human, Scott can't resist a dirty rear car window. We suspect that Scoot start off with clever sayings, like, “wash me.” Probably his first image was the ubiquitous smiley face. Unlike most folks however, Scott lives on a mile and a half of dirt road – caliche, as the locals call it, road-base: a blend of limestone dust and gravel and clay. Driving over this surface result in a fine, white dust that billows up behind any vehicle driven faster than a galloping turtle, coating the rear window. Being an experienced artist (and let's face it, a little...different), it wasn't long before Scott was experimenting with techniques to achieve these amazing detailed and shaded drawings.”

And amazing they certainly are! From the close-ups of the images and a picture of himself on his website, it looks like Scott Wade uses a variety of paint brushes to achieve an awesome range of values. He has incredible reproductions of famous pieces as well as some portraits and animal landscapes. I would love to post some pictures here, but I was so excited to write about him, I didn't want to wait for a return email. And alas, as I am a fledgling blog, I'm not hopeful I'd get permission anyway...but there's nothing ethically wrong with posting links!

The image gallery itself is in frames, but here's an impressive portrait of Einstein out of frames; as well as Dogs Playing Cards; a creepy yet funny picture of his daughter in the rear window; one of my favorite paintings, The Birth of Venus; and some of the great classic horror stars.

If I've whetted your appetite, you can click “home” at the very top of any of the images, or go to http://dirtycarart.com/index.html. It is seriously worth it!
