The 21st Century Canvas

Walt Taylor

Recently I was reading randomly and came across this article on a fairly new trend in art: the iPad app Brushes. The same day, I was looking at one of my favorite local artists', Walt Taylor's blog, and he, too, had made a nice attempt in this new medium (above). I decided to peek further into the interwebs to see what people are coming up with and it turned out to be pretty cool. 

I love the idea of having a portable canvas anywhere. I love the idea of a new type of street art--the way caricaturists currently approach you in Central Park or Busch Gardens or whatever--what if they did a "painting" with "brushes" of you instead and you got it emailed to you for your Facebook or blog or whatever? Old school meets new! The possibilities for digital art and for pop art are endless.
