Dirty Car Art By Scott Wade Shows How Dirty Can Be Beautiful

By Ganesh

A kid comes across a car that is covered in dust and just for the fun of it, he or she turns it into a canvas for a crude sketch. Admit it, as a kid (even now for that matter) all of us have used our fingers as tools to etch out simple doodles and sceneries and cartoons on dirty car bonnets and windshields.

Scott Wade, is slightly different because he has taken that to the next level by creating actual art, masterpieces you may call it, from dirty cars. Wade, a resident of Wimberley Texas, creates everything from portraits to landscapes to abstract art. In the gallery below we have listed a few of Wade's Dirty Car Art which we particularly liked.

Wade's first nude art, which he jovially refers to as "Dirty Picture". An interesting thing about creating art on dirt is that it's not permanent and changes over time, before disappearing under a new layer of dust.
