‘White Van Gogh man’ makes art out of dirty vehicle

A white van man is getting his hands dirty in a bid to cheer people up — by creating works of art on the side of his vehicle.

Rick Minns, also known as Ruddy Muddy, has created pictures including winter landscapes, children playing in the snow and a ship on high seas by scraping away the dirt on the side of his van.

The 39-year-old, who works for Norfolk-based floral wholesaler Flowervision, has dubbed his work “grafilthy” and enjoys entertaining onlookers as he goes about his daily work making deliveries to florists.
