It’s not really unusual to spot a dirty car while strolling around the city. Some of us even use it as a canvas to draw some silly pictures and “teach” their lazy owners a lesson. And while this is something you wouldn’t normally want to find all over your vehicle in the morning, this Russian artist Nikita Golubev (previously here) might actually change your opinion.

This Moscow-based illustrator takes the casual scribbles on dirty cars to a completely new level. The dirt is just another material for this artist to realize his ideas, and turning unwashed cars into amazing pieces of art has already become his thing. Although Golubev has been previously working on a lot of different projects, this one is special because of how fragile and temporary the final result is.

Scroll down to see his latest creations for yourself, and if you’re ever around Moscow – do not wash your car!

This looks like a scene from my office meeting, where everyone is just listening and don't know what the heck is going on?

His Instagram account tells that the letters in this picture says "Everything is within normal limits".

It's the Russian equivalent of "Loose lips sink ships" from WWII. "Don't spill our secrets or else...." - probably from The Mafia.

I understand this one to be about living under a dictator. "Keep your mouth shut or fingers will be broken!" type of thing. Although a simple drawing to dark old days, it still reflects the artists deft hand (not an intentional pun) at extraordinary art!

не болтай : Don’t you chatter (you better not talk or you’ll lose a finger)

My guess is that the hand in that shape is meant to signify talking on the phone (that's not just a russian phenomenon). The broken small finger is (at a guess) meant to signify that your finger will break from too much chatter and/or the darker meaning of "someone will break it for you if you reveal the wrong secrets". All guesswork, of course.
