Artist Creates on Dirty Car Windows

Some guys see a dirty car and want to wash it. Some guys see a dirty car and want to pretend it doesn't exist. Then there are guys like Scott Wade.

Scott Wade is an artist in Texas who works with computers during the day, then creates masterpieces in the dirt and dust that has built up on his car windows.

The dirty roads where he lives have the right mixture of limestone and dust that gradually builds up and becomes a perfect canvas. Scott has figured out that almond oil spread on his car window has the perfect tack for the best results. Very fun! Check this out:

American Painter Andrew Wyeth Dies

Andrew Wyeth, American painter, died this morning at age 91.
One of his most famous paintings was Christina's World, which he painted in 1948. In the 1980's there was an increase in attention to his work.

"The son of famed painter and book illustrator N.C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth gained wealth, acclaim and tremendous popularity. But he chafed under criticism from some experts who regarded him as a facile realist, not an artist but merely an illustrator."


"...The "Helga" paintings, many of them full-figure nudes, came with a whiff of scandal: Wyeth said he had not even told his wife, Betsy, about the more than 200 paintings and sketches until he had completed them in 1985."

Cold Weather in Georgia

The big news here is the weather. It is 14 degrees F this morning. For many people around the country, that sounds nice right now! But for Atlanta, this is a really low temperature. We just don't have as much of the cold weather "gear" (heavy coats, etc), because we generally don't need them very much.

But Little Guy (below) is well decked out for today. I thought he was so cute in his Sponge Bob hat, so I grabbed the camera:

He's 3 years old.

Twitter Password Phishing Scam

If you use Twitter, you should know that there has been a Twitter phishing scam going on, mainly through the Twittter Direct Messages, the link will say they "found neat pics of you on the Internet" or "look at this blog" or something like that.

When people click the link, it takes them to a blog that redirects to a page that looks like Twitter. People think they are re-signing in to their Twitter account, but they are actually giving their info to the scammers.

So be careful if you get any of those, just delete the DM. I alert the person I received it from that their acct may have been compromised & they should change their password. I would advise you also to change your Twitter password today, just in case.
