The world famous “Dirty Car Artist”, Scott Wade joined Toronto last week for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation #SoapsItUp $5 charity car wash campaign kick off and showed off his world class works at a condo presentation gallery (the latest fad in event spaces, of course). The event was hosted by the CARSTAR Quality Collision Centre and pulled together by Praxis PR.
Scott Wade has toured the world with his spectacular Dirty Car Art, a technique he discovered while living in a house off of a dirty road in the Austin, Texas outskirts. He started using popsicle sticks and rubber paintbrushes but now has a fully developed toolkit that he uses to etch his dusty designs. I was told that he starts his canvas with a layer of almond oil and movie prop dirt which is actually partly paint to begin with.
He’s often flown all over the world to present his paintings and he’s not restricted to just car art. He told me his dream gig would be to illustrate a massive office skyscraper in a desert town in Dubai, but his largest canvas so far was in Vancouver where he painted a swimwear storefront window with a surfing Elvis escaping a great white shark and a bikini-fied American Gothic (seen below).
