Create Dizzy Paintings with SpinArt

Create Dizzy Paintings with SpinArt

SpinArt will remind you of childhood art projects.  Playing with SpinArt feels like a combination of blowing paint with a straw, tie-dying and that game (whose name I cannot remember) where you make geometric patterns by drawing with round plastic things that spin.  But SpinArt is not messy, and it is not just for kids.
When [...]

I immediately fell in love [...]

Use Brushes to Create Your Masterpiece

Use Brushes to Create Your Masterpiece

The closest I’ve come to painting a canvas is the drop cloth I used the last time I painted the bathroom in my house. Steve Sprang’s Brushes is just the thing for a guy like me who’s more likely to paint himself into a corner than to create great works of art.
Brushes is a flexible [...]

Pixi’s Interactive Graphics in Motion is Cool for Creatives

Pixi’s Interactive Graphics in Motion is Cool for Creatives

Pixi is a new iPhone/iPod Touch app from Tiny Wonder Studios that they describe as “music to your eyes.” It definitely is a visual app, but it is infinitely deeper than that because you can control what you see. I find it difficult to describe Pixi in any way other than a new-age spirograph. However, [...]

Sketchy Brings a Nostaligic Twist to Drawing on iPhone

Sketchy Brings a Nostaligic Twist to Drawing on iPhone

Sketchy — Aaron Tait’s new-fangled version of the classic etch-a-sketch — is just like the original. Two large white nobs control a tiny bead as it draws lines across the screen all rolled up in a familiar red package. For some it’s just another artistic medium. For me it’s an exercise in futility as I try [...]
