You might think there's nothing attractive or impressive about a filthy white van.<\/p>\n
We see them all the time and occasionally people scrawl the odd comment or smutty joke into the muck.<\/p>\n
But a bus driver from East London has decided to do something different and transform the mess into a work of art.<\/p>\n
Robert Burden wraps a pencil in tissue and then sketches iconic images in the dirt, with uncanny portraits of the likes of Queen, Led Zepplin and Bob Dylan – famed for hits such as Blowin' in the Wind and Mr Tambourine Man – among his most impressive works.<\/p>\n
He tells the Sun: "People are often truly moved. It's making art out of dirt, something that's usually seen as bad. They're urban expressions from living and working in London."<\/p>\n
With the number of mucky white vans on the country's roads, it seems Mr Burden will be provided with plenty more blank canvases for future projects.<\/p>\n
