today we've got some of the best videos of the year. keep on watching. artists use all mediums to create their masterpiece from acrylic to water colors. you've never seen a painting with fire. this is how this artist works. he starts with something he uses as a canvas. might be a thin piece of wood. this ends up covered in soot. this is where the art begins. then he starts removing some of that soot. >> wow. >> no way. >> it's like art in reverse. >> he starts using brushes.

exacto knife. all kinds of different tools. >> it's remarkable to see how artists come up with brilliant ways to create their art. >> the black he is getting is creating and leaving behind such a unique look and texture that you probably just can't get by hand. >> look how incredibly d notice how clean his hands are? i would expect that soot would be all over your hands. soon as you touch it you would be oh no i ruined it. >> look what he can do with the feather. the detail. the intricacy. >> such amazing work with soot and fire. >> i want to put a piece on my wall. >> isn't it gorgeous? >> you'll notice this video is five minutes long. it's brilliant. >> someone is clearly not very

good at parking. fortunately a guy decided what's going on and will sit here and sees what happen. we'll hit fast forward. she does this forward/backwards. have the lines moved? no. you're still in the same situation. over 3 1/2 minutes she is stuck there. fortunately a man walks by. soon as he shuts the door i'm going to start the clock how long it takes him to park the car. he turns the car around the right way. parks it perfectly in the spot in exactly 40 seconds. she locks the door and goes on about her way. the only thing that makes it better if we had the video how she reverses out of the spot. i have the video because the guy stays there to see how she gets out. it gets worse. >> how does this girl get

anything done in her day? >> how does she function? >> what is the first thing she should do? turn the wheel to the left? what have we done? it gets closer and closer. this is when the guy who is shooting girlfriend or wife basically asks the question -- >> why is this girl driving? >> the only thing to do is go forward. so of course she goes backwards. she starts scraping along the side of this ford before reversing the wrong way again. >> make it stop. >> seven minutes in total. in the last four seconds of the video, you can see the person in the volvo going to go straight into the spot. unbelievable. >> time for your daily dose of adorable. >> this is adorable levi. it's his 4th birthday. >> i don't want to grow up. >> levi doesn't want to grow up.
