Video: Jeff Soto "Sonic" graffiti robot car

We aren't really ones here at Onomatopoeia to push products but if we come across an interesting ad that is well done, we'll throw it up there. The folks at Chevrolet have been working overtime to make their new Chevy Sonic appear cool with the kids in their latest ads by having it skydive from a plane, "kick flip" off a ramp, etc... etc. In their latest ad they employed the talents of artist Jeff Soto, to team up with Sonic - the Graf-writing-Robot-car to paint a mural.

 The car is fitted with robotic arms, the same from the assembly line factory, and are used to help paint a mural. I'm sure the robots precision is slightly overstated in this video, w/ Soto picking up all the slack on the mural but the video is well made and interesting none the less.

Video: The Art of Holton Rower

NYC based artist Holton Rower is an interesting artist. His art has many skeptics and tends to have a more interesting creation process than final product.  But the process is extremely interesting in its simplicity and visualization as it occurs.  Pieces are lava flows of variously colored paint that keep going creating 3D structures.

An example of this process was captured and edited by David Kaufman.  Think of the final piece what you will but its a pretty fascinating thing to watch.
