Dirty car art by Scott Wade


Trading paint for dust, Scott Wade creates stunning works of art using dirt and mud as his medium. He works as a graphic user interface designer, but his time is increasingly spent producing amazingly detailed images on filthy car windows. The San Antonio-based artist has done a number of commissioned works for major brands and his creations have been featured on various TV shows, fairs, festivals, and corporate events.

Scott was exposed to drawing at a very young age, but his career as a dirty car artist began when his vehicle got blocked in at a parking lot. Out of boredom, he pulled out a chewed popsicle stick out of his mouth and started doodling on a grimy windshield. On average he says he spends between an hour and a half and three hours on each drawing. Here, his take on Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein. Be sure to check out Scott's official website for more.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Beautiful hand-crafted books by Arion Press

Anthony Bourdain visits San Francisco's Arion Press , one of the last shops in the world where an entire book is created by hand. Blocks of text are assembled from cast typefaces. Pages are printed one at a time on centuries-old letterpress printing equipment; the pages are stitched together on the spot. Two to three limited edition books are published per year. Each is conceptually unique. [h/t: Sploid ]
