Welcome to 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 surfacew 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.
Some amazingly done art… and all that work for something so fragile (ie. washes away). Look through the gallery to see the many amazing things he’s done.

I used to live next door to this amazing artist! Never a dull moment! (Same road by-the-way.) So glad to see some things never change! I never thought it possible that he could get even more creative with age. (I lived there in the 80′s) Keep on a-rockin’ Scotty!
