I Thought This Looked Neat,

messages and artwork,


that you can only see by waiting for it to rain, 

or by adding your own water, 

in 2013, 20-year-old creator of novelty, Peregrine Church, learned about super-hydrophobic coatings from a video online, and he began to brainstorm creative uses for the material, since super-hydrophobic coatings repel water and keep surfaces dry, and since concrete changes color in the rain, Peregrine thought he might be able to use the super-hydrophobic coating to create hidden messages that only appear on rainy days, the name he chose, Rainworks, the goal: to give people a reason to smile on rainy days, and I think if I saw one of these it would make me smile too.
