And he drives a MINI

 

Third thread merge.

 

amazing..

 

Looks good but letting a car get that dirty is not good....lol

 

How neat! It is like those wonderful chalk pictures you see sidewalk artists doing...and then it rains and all goes away. But then they get to do it all again ...

This is about my level of expertise:

Mick/Blue

 

Found this on woostercollective.com, thought you all might find it interesting.

Sorry I couldn't edit out the "other" car, it's one big jpg.

 

that is interesting.. although my mini hasnt gotten that dirty yet.. at least not the back window..

 

Wow!

 

My mom sent these pics to me. The artist's name is Scott Wade.
If I could do that I wouldn't mind the back of my Mini getting so dirty.

Here's some info. http://www.statesman.com/news/conten...art/index.html

I wonder if he is a member?

Later,
Ray

Can't add the images b/c aol does an interesting thing where they like to attatch them to your account so if you save them to your pc then upload them to a photo place and pull their links from there but until then:

Subject: Dust Art

When the dust gets thick on the back window of his Mini Cooper, Scott Wade uses it as a canvas to create temporary works of art. Among his creations was a copy of C.M. Coolidge's 'A Friend in Need,' better known as dogs playing poker.

Wade used his finger and other implements to etch this homage to Vincent Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' and Leonardo da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa.'

Wade lives off the unpaved Roadrunner Road north of San Marcos, which dusts the back windows of his car and gives him the canvases to create his own works of art.

A portrait of Kinky Friedman on the back of the Mazda driven by Wade's wife, Robin Wood, was featured on the gubernatorial candidate's Web site.

A collage of wildlife decorates the Mini Cooper's window.

Wade's creations attract admirers wherever he goes.

Who needs a frost-covered window when you've got road dust to create a Christmas scene?

A gimme-capped John Kelso was the subject of one window portrait.

Besides his finger, Wade uses traditional art tools, such as paintbrushes, and unconventional ones, like a chewed Popsicle stick, to make his drawings.

Wade takes pride in his creations, but he knows that with one good shower, his work will just wash away.

Somebody's got waaayyyy to much time.


But, it's pretty cool

 

PotMa, a friend from down south sent that to me today. Amazing, ephemeral work like the beautiful chalk pieces people do on sidewalks and streets, and of course, sand castles.

Aso, artists do such things out of love of expression. It's not a waste of time if it brings pleasure to the artist or to others, and it helps him keep his chops.

 

We need this guy on NAM, looks like he would fit right in

We all know haw bad the back window can get in our MINIs, but we still love them anyway. Well, I just had a really cool email forwarded to me. . .

This guy is Scott Wade of San Marcos, TX.

Check this out on his Silk Green MC:











Pretty crazy, huh? He uses his finger, paintbrushes, clay tools, popsiclesticks. . . alll kinds of stuff. He lives off a dirt road, so he gets plenty of chances to do this.

If anyone else has done anything with their dirty window, I would love to see it!

Thanks, Dave!
Yea, wow, never saw this thread! Thought I was ahead of the curve. . .

Never trust forwarded emails!

 

Here's a website which features a MINI you'll get a kick out of http://www.dirtycarart.com/

We had fun seeing the MTTS come thru Amarillo Friday, then quite by surprise found this link on a photo forum I subscribe to.

 

Talk about talent! I can't even write "Wash Me" correctly :(

 

Bad thing is that you can't erase and start over!

 

sure u can, u just gotta ride down the road

 

I always write "If only my wife were this dirty" on cars like this
