cartoon life: more about the iPad and David Hockney
From David Hockney on CBC’s Q and from The Atlantic: Art in the Age of Digital Reproduction: Hockney’s iPad Paintings You could print the images, but on regular paper, without their luminous screen, they look wan and watery. The best option for selling them, Scheips suggests, might be an app catalogue, which would let us browse Hockney’s […]

I’m working on another set of collage landscapes – all digital this time, on the iPad, with the same feel as the previous 20 Landscapes series – from scraps and textures – digital scraps and textures, and some scanned material. To what purpose? Like anything digital, they suffer from not being actual artifacts. Filed under: […]

Continue readingcartoon life: Is there interest in a cat book?
At a recent prompting, that being an inquiry about sales, I fell into the book making portion of iPhoto. As such, I put together a few books of things. One of these would be a collection of some of the various cat drawings I have done on my iPod and iPad in the various paint […]

Magician Dan White travels to Nepal to learn some of the magical secrets of the Mysterious East. Beautiful exotic landscapes. Folkloric story elements with people fooling each other over power, mystery, magic and illusion. Completely unbelievable, as the narrator ironically speaks – for he is a professional magician – yet still completely delightful. Certainly you […]

I stumbled on this somewhere around the fourth of August, and posted it to G+. In light of stumbling on John Baldasari’s Tips for Artists, I thought it was worthwhile reposting here: Wil Wheaton originally shared this post: This is Ira Glass talking to creative people about getting past The Gap. Every single creative person I’ve […]

cartoon life: Blogsy experiment
So, I bought Blogsy from the app store and it turns out to be really nice. Easier to use than the WordPress app. And it seems to deal with images in posts more easily. Anyway I dragged in an image from the sidebar off of the Picasa bar. It doesn’t show here. Somewhat up with […]

The kids are having fun learning english and about western culture. We went over holidays today, and they really liked […]
