Who cannot recall the artistic conundrums raised by last month's posting on buttery goodness of Temporary Art? Butter sculpture? Lovely perhaps, but clearly destined to be spread away by the toast and crackers of the evanescent. Hence, temporary. As in ephemeral and oft even edible art.

And yet, who, then, could have anticipated the temporariness and yet artistic achievement of Scott Wade's Dirty Car Art?

Mr Wade writes: "These images drawn in the dust are obviously quite impermanent. One of the cool things about them is how they change over time. More dust accumulates as the car is driven down the road. Early morning dew streaks and dots the image, creating a patina. A light shower creates a deeper patina..."

Not just temporary, but a veritable celebration of impermanence. Which is, in fact, what you might call "fun."
