Changes

It was recommended to  me to start using car grease as a drawing material.  I decided I wanted to use the actual car as a drawing object!  I contacted a friend of mine in Dayton who owns several old cars.  I threw around the idea with him of using his old car parts and his cars to draw on paper and to just experiment with different things.  He was very excited about my ideas and was totally welcoming to having me play around in his garage.  I drove the hour to his house and he showed me around.  He had car parts all over the place!  I was in heaven.  He showed me to his garage which was almost bursting with hot rods and car parts.  I started out by placing a huge piece of paper on the floor and he drove over the paper in his 1960 Ford Galaxie 500 2 dr hardtop.  It made a beautiful tire pattern.  From there, he grabbed a bunch of greasy, grimey, drippy car parts he had lying around.  I dug right in!  I laid them out on the paper and smeared them around.  This is the photographic journey of my experimentation.
