Ad Art

Though the idea of mixing commerce and art is distasteful for many creative types, its also a reality many of us have to contend with to make a living. And while it's true that so much commercial art—whether TV, print or web ads—is really crap, there's an increasing amount of it that's truly innovative and gorgeous. These Sony Bravia ads, for example, are some of the most beautiful, creative, sweet spots I've ever seen.

Many of you have seen the first two. The third is relatively new. I'd love to know what agency is responsible for these and kiss their feet. (I should mention that none of these use CGI—those balls, paint, and bunnies are all real.)

Paint Symphony:


Happy Bunnies:


Apologies for the poor quality. These were the best I could find to embed. Higher quality versions can be found at Sony's Bravia site.
