Scott Wade's Dirty Car Art

Like any reasonably creative and curious human, Scott can’t resist a dirty rear car window. I suspect that Scott started off with clever sayings, like, “wash me.” Probably his first image was the ubiquitos 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 results in a fine, white dust that billows up behind any vehicle driven faster then 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 amazingly detailed and shaded drawings.
