<i><span style="font-size: large;">
<a href="http://www.dirtycarart.com/">http://www.dirtycarart.com</a><br />
<br /><br /><br />A Texan, by the name of Scott Wade, has
come up with a perfect and impermanent way to cover
your car in art. He creates masterpieces in dirt on the back
of car windows using just his fingers, a few brushes, and the
ever-present Texas road dust that settles on his and his wife's
cars.</span></i><br />
<br />
</div>
<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://cdn.gajitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/scott-wade-dirty-car-art.jpg" /><br /><br />Scott
Wade has the benefit of living on a mile and a half of dirt road
comprised of caliche and gravel. When driving on this fine, white dust,
it doesn’t take long for it to cover a car’s back window. Rather than
getting annoyed with the constant covering of dust, Wade decided to do
something fun with it. He recreates famous works of art and comes up
with his own, rendering them in surprising detail by wiping patterns in
the dirt.</span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;"><img src="http://cdn.gajitz.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/scott-wade-dirty-car-art-2.jpg" /><br /><br />Even
more interesting is the fact that the paintings change over time. As
more dust accumulates or precipitation streaks or partially washes away
a piece, it takes on a whole new personality.Obviously, the pieces are
at the mercy of the weather and they do tend to wash away when it
rains. That’s okay with their creator, though – he views it as his cue
to get started on something new and wonderful all over again.
<br /><br />This unique brand of art has earned Scott attention
from all over the world: his car dust paintings have been featured on
television and in print many times. He’s also been invited to create
work for festivals, and he’s even dipping his toes into creating these
muddy masterpieces for commercial clients.

As a child he was mute, and did not relate to other people. Aged three, he was diagnosed as autistic. He had no language and lived entirely in his own world. At the age of five, Stephen was sent to Queensmill School in London, where it was noticed that the only pastime he enjoyed was drawing. <br><br>It soon became apparent he communicated with the world through the language of drawing; first animals, then London buses, and finally buildings.

The name literally means the “female body plate,” hence the bizarre practice inside this establishment.<br><br>Employees serve the food on a body made of food and place that on an operating table for the diners’ delight. <br><br>Correction.... below may not be correct. From every other site Im reading abou this, it says that the woman is, infact real. Washed and prepared and trained for this practice.<br><br><span style="font-style: italic;">still researching this fact<br>.......Patrons can cut open the body–which will begin to bleed. But fear not, everything within her is completely edible.</span><br><br><img src="http://all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/most-bizarre-restaurants-nyotaimori.jpg"><img src="http://all-that-is-interesting.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/most-bizarre-restaurants-nyotaimori2.jpg"></font> <div></div>Angiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00630840437225912894noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5027161356290948458.post-37980598631990574122012-05-18T23:19:00.000-07:002012-09-12T03:20:36.349-07:00ewwwww... advertising with a difference... <font size="5"><br>Londoners were reportedly sickened by the sight of muscular black-and-white arms clutching copies of the SEGA game ‘MadWorld’.
