Scott Wade's Dirty Car Art

June 12th 2009 07:46

Take a look at Scott Wade's Dirty Car Art Gallery.

Scott lives on a mile and a half of dirt road. The road base is a blend of limestone dust, gravel, and clay. Driving along Scott's road causes a fine white dust to billow up behind the vehicle and cover the rear windscreen.

hi Lara,

i love how temporary it is, he leaves them out in the weather and as soon as it rains the design disappear . . . spectacular is a great word for it

hi Norm,

the cactus one is very detailed, he has put alot of work into it . . . i dont know if i would have the patience to create something like that, but its great that hes has captured them in photos

Some people amaze me with their talent. But what is most amazing is he knows they are very temporary. I don't know that I could put so much work into something that would disappear with a few raindrops.

Wow!

hi Cheryl,

thats exactly what i thought!

its like those people that put so much effort into making designs and scultures out of sand in public places . . . one gush of wind, or surf, or a sprinkling of rain and a sand-castle is ruined, a lesson you learn from a young age . . . yet it does not deter some people

Wow Morgan,
That is bizarre. Only today I saw a car with flames shooting out of the side that had been drawn in it's dust and I remember thinking, 'wow, we could do so much with dirty cars rather than the usual 'Wash me!' statements scrawled on them.

Good on you for being on the ball...at least with my musings..LOL!!!

hi Samantha,

yes ive been reading your mind . . . i learnt about Vulcan mind melds from Star Trek haha

its kind of like found art but with a bit of extra work, i like these pieces that work with everyday items and unusual materials
