Aug 15 2008Guy Paints Car Pictures Using RC Cars
Ian Cook is an artist that specializes in painting car portraits using RC cars and wheels instead of brushes. Which, unbeknownst to me, apparently there's a market for. He dips the toy's wheels in paint, and then runs them around on the paper using a radio controller. I've got to admit, the results are pretty damn impressive. Not as impressive as the cat painting I made using nothing but an uncooperative Mr. Whiskers, but still, not bad.
Hit the jump to see a couple more pictures and a video of Ian in action.

Thanks to Richie, who once painted a picture of a boob using a nipple.

You have to have no life to figure out how to do something like this! But I have to admit it is cool.

Why is he covered in paint if he uses remote controlled cars, does he roll around in it afterwards?
