Owners Of Dirty Trucks Find Amazing Drawings On Their Vehicles Left By This Artist (36 New Pics)
Every car owner knows that as soon as their precious vehicle gets dirty, it becomes a target of street mockery. Think of the classic ‘Wash Me,’ its millennial twist ‘Y U No Wash?’ or something much more sinister. But for the Russian artist Nikita Golubev, they are blank canvases waiting to be turned into incredible, surreal works of art that are destined to fade away in rain or get swallowed by a new layer of dirt.
The Moscow-based artist, better known by the nickname Pro Boy Nick, calls this unusual artistic technique a way of “digging art out of dirt,” and his works speak for themselves. The dirty car artist currently has 107k Instagram followers and his audience is constantly growing.
“I just wanted to start up something new, to work fast on big surfaces. And dirty trucks helped me with that. It became some kind of giant sketchbook, which I share with people,” he told in an interview with Bored Panda that you can read in full below. And after you’re done, don’t forget to check out our previous posts on Pro Boy Nick ‘vandalizing’ dirty cars on Moscow streets here and here.

This artwork is much superior to common graffeti and easier to get undone. Yet, I feel grief that his work will not survive long in this form. All this despite knowing this artwork on painted metal is damaging to the paint, if not permanently etched in the metal.

PRO BOY NICK is a wonderful Artist. He's so creative and changes dirt into beauty. I am truly impressed by him.

Particularly love the way the light is coming in from top right, and the boy/man is reaching towards it.

yes same artist.. wasting space... yet his art is now international. I suppose when it rains it will wash off.
Nikita told us that the most difficult part of the creative process is to start, but so it is with any art, he added. “Another thing is that you can’t undo what you painted, but I find it to be beneficial since it helps me to finish my work and learn when it’s the right time to stop.”
The artist said that he always tries to make his dirt drawing simple and clear, but he also enjoys making “a depth in the images.” “Dirt is always different. It can be dry, or wet, or frozen, thick or thin, and that makes me work with a different approach.” And for those who’re wondering how long it takes to produce one dirt painting, Nikita said that on average, it’s one hour.
“I get lots of feedback from all around the world, and many come directly from truck drivers. It seems that most people are impressed with that and understand my messages, which is inspiring to me."

When asked if he's ever gotten in trouble for ‘vandalizing’ cars with dirt drawings, he assured us that it's never happened. “Although I have never asked any permission to do that. I never make anything insulting. I also never discuss ideas for my drawings with anyone, but I keep in mind that someone will find my drawing on his truck and it will go on the streets.”
It turns out that some drivers keep Nikita’s artworks for months until they get covered with new dirt. “A couple of times, I started my new drawing when the previous was still visible (for example, a swimming girl and kid in the dirt).”

Have you watched Lucas the Spider? It will completely change your view of spiders. (Maybe not because I liked spiders before I watched it)

The first one is an android robot Verter, or Werther, from an old and forever beloved Russian movie "Guest from the future"! It is russian movie from the tear 1985 about a girl Alice who came from the future and about the space pirates who chased her. The Verter was her devoted robot who died protecting her. They used to show it on TV during school holidays. We loved it so much and waited anxiously to watch the daily chapter every morning.

"Crap, you forgot the phone"
Collie 4 years ago
I think the translation should be "Forgot the phone", or "I forgot the phone". Cos it is like spring is coming, the winter is over and then BUM, it is one of this day in the middle of spring when there is snowing and freezing again. The character is The Snow Queen from the fairy tail and it is like "ups, I had to come back for my phone".
