Artballing with Chevrolet.
UK: Ex-England cricket captain Michael Vaughan turned his hand to contemporary art by creating the world’s biggest ‘artballing’ painting – a 16 by five foot image of a Chevrolet Cruze car created by hitting and throwing paint-covered cricket balls against a blank canvas over 5,000 times.
