Street Artist Uses Dirt on Lorries to Create Amazing Drawings

[Yahoo! News}- A filthy vehicle can be incredibly unsightly but one street artist is turning them into incredible pieces of art.

Nikita Golubev regularly uses his talents to transform dirty vehicles in Moscow, Russia, sharing photographs of the huge artworks he creates on Instagram.

His popularity has surged on the site, and has now attracted more than 55,000 followers.

Mr Golubev often uses his unusual art to make social or political comments about serious issues such as war and pollution.

Other times, he uses his interest in science fiction and fantasy to create stunning images to liven up the city-scape.

Here are a selection of the artwork that can be seen on the roads of Moscow.

44 Killed In Russian Plane Crash

A RusAir airline  passenger jet crashed in heavy fog and burst into flames late Monday on a highway in northwestern Russia.

44 people were killed while 8 were in critical condition.

The plane crashed on its final approach to the airport in Petrozavodsk, making a crash landing one to two kilometers (about a mile) short of the runway, breaking apart and then bursting into flames.

The runway’s high-intensity lights  which is supposed to be deployed at times of low visibility had failed.

It was unclear if the plane had attempted to land on the road, or just happened to fall there.

Petrozavodsk is in Karelia province, near the Finnish border, about 400 miles (640 kilometers) northwest of Moscow.

This is a disaster and I am very sad and sorry for the victims, their families and friends.

Moscow Covered By Smog-Pictures

A Kremlin honor guard is seen at Alexander's Garden outside the Kremlin in heavy smog covering Moscow, Russia, Friday, Aug. 6, 2010. The city of Moscow was shrouded Friday by a dense smog that grounded flights at international airports and seeped into homes and offices, as wildfires that have killed 50 people nationwide continued to burn.

Airborne pollutants such as carbon monoxide is at six times the normal levels.

So the Russians and the tourists need to wear masks to protect themselves.

The smog got inside the buildings in Moscow.

The State Historical Museum, on Red Square was forced to close because it couldn’t stop its smoke detectors from going off.

The smog is so thick that we can’t see very far away.

Some flights to Moscow’s Domodedovo and Vnukovo airports had been diverted to other airports.

There could also be road accidents because the drivers can’t see clearly in the thick haze.

The fires drew comment from officials and activists at international climate-change talks in Bonn, Germany.

There are natural disasters all over the world.

Russia is burning and Pakistan is drowning.

I think the people in Moscow should avoid going outside because the thick smog can cause accidents and the air quality is very low.
