It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon, but we wanna bring you something fun. How about an excuse to thumb your nose at that mean, old professor who always yells at you for drawing in class? Turns out, doodling actually helps a person understand and retain information. As author, business owner...

Sometimes art is offensive and loud. It can make you feel a host of emotions. I usually don’t look to the genre of child photography to be moved towards any sort of conclusion other than “aww, that kid with food on his face is cute.”  That changes with the most recent photo...

Remember that scene in Terminator when the Governator cuts out his own eye so he can replace it with the better, mechanical eye that glows red? That shit was pretty awesome when it was fake, but it’s even cooler when it’s real. Rob Spence, a Canadian film maker, lost his eye in a...

Up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a motherfucking robot. Markus Fischer and his team at Festo, who do all sorts of sweet shit with innovative electronics and bionics, have created a first of it’s kind. Dubbed the Smartbird, this  modern marvel modeled on a...

If you have ever been to a Wet Paint party you know we are fans of the glow stick. Turns out, so is Colombia. The Colombian yogurt company Bon Yurt put together an installation called Mundo Neon to advertise their new Neon line of yogurt. The installation consists of several blenders, around...

  Pitchfork. The mere mention of the music webzine behemoth makes most internet-savvy music lovers cringe. And I can’t really say I blame them. It brings to mind biased, superficially-eclectic coverage; relentless name-dropping; and overwrought, inane reviews, often aimed at creating...

Space is fucking awesome. We all know that. It’s apparently limitless and also very quiet. Until now. Anyone who knows anything about physics knows there is no sound in space, not in the traditional sense. NASA recorded some electromagnetic waves and converted them into the kind of...

Move over theramin, whatever touch-screen guitar, there’s a new futuristic instrument in town, and it’s blowing you out of the water. The Eigenharp, coming out of Eigenlabs in the UK, is a new instrument released in 2009 after eight years of development. It’s both a wind...

Here at Fresh Wet Paint, we’re obsessed with the future (at least, I am). Anything about robots or cyborgs is bound to get me pumped and stoked and every excited adjective on the market. I can’t wait until scientists inject nano-bots into my bloodstream so I can fight off bacteria...

I originally wrote this for a class, but decided to publish it here. This is my call to action to journalists everywhere. Figure. It. Out. Blogging. To a lot of journalists, this might as well be a four-letter word. To them, a blogger is some kind of annoying upstart that one can’t take...

In honor of Wet Paint’s favorite weekly in Gainesville, Fla., here is a little promo video for Neon Liger shot by the one-and-only Mr. 650 of Atlanta. (Also, check out his video for Tallahassee’s best party, Menace Beach, here) BONUS: A poem, partially inspired by the debauchery of...

Fuck, Faberge. This Easter it’s all about impressing the Easter Bunny with the Egg-Bot! A wonderful new device that artfully and precisely decorates your eggs for you. Robots, is there anything they won’t do? The Egg-Bot is an open-source art robot that can draw on spherical or...

Hey y’all! We’re quickly approaching our birthday here at Wet Paint, and tout le monde knows birthdays are the shit. In celebration of (almost) having been around for a year, we gave ourselves a hot face-lift. We’re feeling very Miami Vice this year, and anyone who...

Props to slightlywarped.com for compiling all these awesome looking vintage men’s magazines. Each one oozes brutality, battle, manliness, badassness and the fury of tiny animals? Seriously, was that a problem back in the ’50s? Like, who is ever in a situation where they are...

Death From Above 1979? We will see you...
