"Light Painting" isn't new. But how about Light Painting as graffiti? It isn't really graffiti, but fantastic anyway.

I couldn't find the Picasso image of what I consider to be the O.G. of Light painting, but I'm sure someone will.

Oops. Complete with Picasso reference.

Great minds...

Wow, thanks, The Deej, I think:)

Not only kind of a double but, quite lame in comparison. This is exactly why I need to quit my day-job, I miss too many great posts!

Well, these are cool but very similar to lots of stuff I've seen, including here on Metafilter as well as, uh, sprint commercials.

Not graffiti? The fuck it isn't.

My people say at time like this, "Hail yes!"

This is an advancement. You have revealed a new way. For further instructions, download i don't know what i'm doing, and play while reading Spook Country.

In the future, all graffiti will be hallucinatory.

Oh, you're quite welcome snsranch. I have not quit my day job yet. What is it, you ask? Parade Pisser.

Not totally sure if it's a double, which is why I said "oops" instead. Maybe an overlap?

You know, I'm just glad that "Light Painting" didn't refer to this guy.

Because then I would have had to find you. And hurt you. Badly.

dersins: I'm tempted to hurt you just for linking to that. Kinkade is physically painful.

I think this would be an update. Like maybe you found the film clip of Picasso painting with light (I never did). Or maybe this interview (that has a pretty good video clip at the end.)

I'm glad you posted it. This animation, from the site, is wonderful.

I really like the vid clip - I missed it the first time around, somehow.

My old post about LED painting. Are those the same guys from the sprint ad? This stuff never fails to impress me.

Good post!
