As a kid there was nothing like dragging your finger across the dirty back window of your mom's minivan. Imagine lifting your finger to find you've created a Mona Lisa on the rear glass. Scott Wade of San Marcos, TX is perhaps the only person who could say he's done this.
Living on an unpaved road ensures that the back glass of Wade's MINI Cooper always has a willing canvas. In addition to his fingers, Wade also uses more traditional tools like brushes as well as unconventional ones like popsicle sticks to create his inspired dust art. The above pic shows his homage to Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' and Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa'.
Follow the jump for more of Wade's work including a recreation of C.M. Coolidge's 'A Friend in Need' (a.k.a. dogs playing poker).

Astonishing talent! And very reminiscent of the transient nature of the Buddhist sand madalas.

Very cool, but the dude's got to get a life.
Vinny @ Jun 29th 2006 2:49PM
Impressive. I wonder if there is someone out there that does yellow-snow-art?
Jbless @ Jun 29th 2006 2:51PM

that is pretty sweet

I had a 2003 MINI Cooper for 13 painful months.. and it's not surprising that he discovered something to do with the car while it collected dust, waiting for another poorly designed part to be replaced. I might have enjoyed the ownership experience more if I'd discovered this form of amusement before now.
Aside from that.. he's dang groovy! He's showing us a new way to make an 'art car' and it's super cool. Cheers.

This would be a great way to deal with the pine pollen that dusts the Sierras this time of year!

"Very cool, but the dude's got to get a life."
Sigh... the state of arts appreciation in the U.S.... :-)

He's done some great work. Most of the stuff he's done I would even thing would be possible. I have to give him props for his choice of canvases too.

Sorry, the coffee hasn't kicked in yet. That second line should read.
"Most of the stuff that he's done I wouldn't even think would be possible."

Who says they don't enjoy fine art in Texas? What do them snobs in Paris know anyhow?
Dino @ Jul 2nd 2006 6:29PM

The work is awesome, and much in the way sandcastle competietions go, is just for the sake of having fun...looks like he's got it goin'on.
