Wade lives on a 1-1/2 mile long dirt road in the Texas hill country.




According to Wade, it takes a minimum of two weeks for a car to develop the necessary base of dust.  A bit of morn-ing fog helps "set" the dust.

Scott Wade of
San Marcos, Texas
has an unusual hobby: Decorating dirty windshields.

His creations exist only until the next car wash - or rain. 
He says he never tries to preserve his works of art,
except in photographs..

face artist on his "day job",
but his hobby is laboring,
for free, on the windshields
of dirty cars.

masterpiece.





Wade says that most of his
creations take an hour or
less from start to finish.

car to another in this Texas parking lot.
