Iphone Art attempt # 2



My second attempt at using an Iphone to make some art, you can find the first one here. It's of a troy truck that my Niece was playing with at my Mum and Dad's house.

One of the problems with the program (Sketch Book Mobile X) I found was a few area's you couldn't draw in, mainly the bottom right had corner; and the zooming and page scrolling was a little tricky to get used to.

Moon Clouds Triangle


An idea that I've been playing around with for a while.

Last night at about 11pm, I then thought maybe I should put a wolf in the centre with sunglasses, and lasers, but unfortunately it's a little hard due to not have the old Wacom, which makes it easy to adjust pictures.

You can get a T-Shirt with this on Redbubble

First attempt at some Iphone art



I posted here some time back about making art on iphones, and I finally did it, well not on my Iphone but on Queenie's. It's a logo I've been playing with for her YouTube channel, it has a letter 'Q' with a crown in the middle. The inspiration is fairly clear with this one coming again from the works of Mark Rothko.

The program I used to do this was Sketch Book Mobile X, which was the lite verison or free version. I found the zooming and moving around the canvas a little difficult, and using my finger wasn't the best, I may have to hunt down a pen like this one to use.

Merry Christmas



Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year

T-Shirt Idea: 8 Bit Australia Historical Game



I had this idea the other day for a T-Shirt design, like one of those text and image role playing games from the late 80's early 90's, but with an Aussie twist, then I realised that in 1990 when I was in year 7, or was it year 8, we used to play this game called Gold Mine or Gold Rush on these BBC computers.

I found the above text from http://gutenberg.net.au/pgaus.html and is from a book by David Carnegie (1871-1900) called Spinifex and Sand. The picture was in created in the wonderfull Microsoft Paint, where I used a picture of the WA landscape mix with a dead horse and an old picture of Bourke and Wills. I painted of these to try and get some sort of 8 bit computer game feel to it. Microsoft Paint is such a basic tool for making things, but sometimes that can lead to making something very creative.

ROUND AND ROUND


I was thinking of the moon the other day for some reason, and it then got me think of Round and Round a song by big hair band Rat




The moon above I used a filter (which I can remember) in photoshop to distort it from the original.

This is up as a T-Shirt at Redbubble or Zazzle.

Rock On,

Tell the World: The Very Best of Ratt

Inspirational Stuff

While listening to the Ken PD Snyde Cast podcast I found out about the creator of Snake 'n Bake (Michael Kupperman)website Here Come Madness. There some great artwork here to be found including a collection of old Mens Magazines he found in a second hand store.

Here is an example of Snake 'n Bacon

District 9 v Space Invaders


This is the completed T-Shirt design, as per the ideas that were going on in the last post. But just in case you didn't know this is some sort of fan art combining District 9 and my love of 8 bit video games, like Space Invaders.

What Childrens books do you like?


While hanging with my 11 month old Niece in Canberra it got me thinking what Childrens books did I read when I was young. I would also say that these books were one of my first encounter with art and more than likely has inspiration and influence my style.

As above Roald Dahl www.roalddahl.com/ and illustration by Joseph Wright for What a Mess are two books that come to mind. What I liked about these books, and still enjoy is that these drawing can be enjoyed on multiple viewing's as there are many things going on.

What were your favourite books as a young child?

Vampire Teeth # 2

I made this design using my Wacom some time ago and now decided to post it.

I'm still learning how to draw with the Wacom, as the hand eye co-ordination is very different compared to pen and paper.

92: The round Void

It's been a while since my last post, and last post that was a drawing. This drawing comes out of frustration of not be very creative over the last 2 months(maybe less).

I did this during work, on the spare minute or too, as you can see in the top left hand corner this was made over a few days.

Hopefully I'll get back into the swing of it, send some inspirations and creativity my way.

Iphone Art

As you can see by previous post’s I’ve being doing a little work via my wacom graphics tablet and my computer, mainly using Photoshop CS4. Now I have a growing interest in the power of the iphone/ipod touch as a virtual sketch book. This is one of the many applications that you can get for the iphone/ipod touch

http://brushesapp.com/

Also artist David Hockney is now creating work via his iphone

http://cultofmac.com/david-hockney-brings-iphone-art-to-gallery/10599

and so is David Leibowitz

http://cultofmac.com/gallery-nyc-painted-impressionist-style-on-the-iphone/11091#more-11091

and here is another gallery of iphone/touch pictures

http://www.tenonedesign.com/gallery

Another thing that interests me with this medium is the use of pens/stylus to draw on the surface this one http://www.tenonedesign.com looks very interesting.
