The very best art is transitory. Chalk painting, sand paintings, the perfect poem whispered only once into the proper ear and never repeated...

Mini Art !!!

While I don't always condone writing on someone else's window, this guy does it to his own, so I guess that's ok.

A friend of mine @ work sent me this. And, I felt that I had to share with everyone else.

Someone just sent me that link. Good thing I searched for it before I re-posted it!

That's not photoshop IMO, it's real.

hhaahaha, someone either never washes their car, lives in a dirty part of town, or has lots of time on their hands... or all the above

I love to carve Jackolanterns, despite knowing they will becaome Javalina food within a week. This is pretty cool, sure beats "wash me."

the art is cool...kinda reminds me of R. Crumb's work.
I can't imagine how long it takes his window to get that dusty, unless he applies it somehow...even I wash my car on a regular basis...or have it washed (by hand, don't panic )
I also hate to think what moving all that dust around on soft MINI windshield glass has done to it.

It said he lives on a dirt road - I can believe it gets that dirty! I visit my brother who lives on a dirt road and my back window gets filthy when I go there.

Well if you aren't going to wash your MINI, at least you can do something cool with it .
