Here’s one of the latest examples I’ve seen of amazing art being produced on the iPad.  It’s a portrait of live model – done by David Kassan with the Brushes app.

David’s work on this portrait took three hours and it was live streamed as he did it.  Great stuff.

I watched a few videos that showcased Rana Sobhany, the World’s First iPad DJ – and her efforts at iPadDevCamp.  The great portrait of her in action shown above was – fittingly – done on an iPad, by David Newman.

David is obviously finding the iPad a pretty great tool for his portraits work.

What a powerful image.  Here’s a little more about it, straight from our friend David Scott Leibowitz:

While doing research for my upcoming book on iPhone / iPad Art, I’ve been reading a lot of art history books. For some reason the Cubists stuck in my head like a song that you hum all day. The work for the next few days all had a Cubist flavor, but here’s my clear favorite, "The Cracked Old Man". My work with the iPad has taken on an abstract tone of late, as I have found the larger surface more suited to playing with paint and brushes than the iPhone.

You can see more of David’s art here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/leibo.  Or, you can check out his great app that showcases the work of many wonderful iPhone artists – iCreated.

What a great image.  I think the amazing power of the iPad combined with its beyond-simple interface is enough to inspire child-like wonder in many of us.  I also love the story behind the image:

… could be called ‘discovering iPad’, it’s the first illustration I made on my iPad using Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, made the day after I received it. It was inspired by the first feeling I had when I hold it for the first time : I felt like a child discovering his new toy !

I’ve been hearing great things about the ArtStudio painting app for the iPhone and iPad for quite a while.  In particular, our friend Corliss Blakely has been singing the app’s praises.

Corliss has also provided an excellent tutorial on using the app.  She walks through her process and techniques from first starting point to a finished work, titled ‘Old Cupboard’.  The tutorial offers both a slide show and a walk-through with screenshots and explanatory text.

I’m not an artist myself (far, far from it), but Corliss’ tutorial seems like a great introduction to this painting app.  Give it a look here:

David Hockney – one of Britain’s most acclaimed and accomplished artists – is now creating art on the iPad.  Last year Hockney adopted the iPhone as his primary canvas for new art, and this year he has graduated to the iPhone’s new big brother.

London’s Evening Standard newspaper has a great article up reporting on Hockney’s engagement with the iPad, and his views on the device are very interesting.

Layers – one of the leading painting apps for the platform – has now got two apps for the iPad, a Standard and a pro edition, with the standard being targeted more at the casual artist.

Layers Pro Edition for iPad is the heavyweight big brother of the two …

The pro edition of Layers provides more brushes, more layers, and more advanced layer operations than the standard edition. Enjoy more control over your brush tip using the brush offset option, and email your paintings as layered PSD files to transfer your work to the desktop!

I’m finally catching up on my Inbox after weeks of having it clearly kicking my tail each day.  And that means I’ve also had a chance to catch up on some of the approaches from more great iPhone artists.

Today I wanted to share  an artwork done by Andrea Mdos – this one shown above, which is titled ‘Sofia’.

If you’d like to see more of Andrea’s iPhone art and photography, have a look at his site here:

I’m way overdue on posting this.  Our good friend David Scott Leibowitz let me know about this weeks ago and I just haven’t had a chance to get to it.  In fact, I’m way behind on posting here generally – and I’m hoping to correct that starting today.

Anyway – the good news that David shared with me is that the whole iPhone art movement got some great coverage in a premier printed magazine about art – ART News magazine.  The feature is shown in the scan above.

Boy I love this image.  It is called Christmas doggy, and is by Luis Peso.

I’m a huge dog lover and this one feels festive as hell to me – especially since I own a big lovable white Labrador who outweighs this little guy by around 100 pounds and will not wear a hat for us

For my money, nothing says festive like Labradors and Christmas hats!

It’s Christmas Eve and I’m feeling very much in the holiday spirit, looking forward to family visiting our house soon, and in the mood to enjoy  holiday imagery created on the iPhone.

This is the first image that grabbed my attention when I began browsing some of my favorite Flickr streams.  It is called Oh Christmas Tree and is the work of Susan Murtaugh, one of the excellent editors of the great fingerpainted.it site.

Hit the jump for one more lovely iPhone image from Susan …

We have featured some of Dave’s great iPhone artwork in the past, and this one caught my eye several weeks back.  I’ve been meaning to post about it ever since I first saw it. 

This reminds me instantly of the view we enjoyed at my wife’s parent’s lake house up on Lake Worth.  Lovely, sort of elegant bird.

It was done on the Brushes app.  To see more of Dave Webb’s iPhone works, check out his Flickr stream HERE.

We’ve featured Steve John’s wonderful iPhone artwork and photography here before, and for as long as he is happy sharing it I am sure we will continue to do so often in future.

Today I just had to share his series of photographs titles ‘Surreal Buildings of Bath’.  Here is Steve’s brief intro to this set:

This series of Photographs were taken on an iPhone 2G around the beginning of Summer.  The buildings can all be found in the City of Bath, UK but not exactly as you see them here.  They have all been modified (inPhone) in some way using a mixture of the following apps: Brushes – Juxtaposer – PhotoFx.

Hit the jump for a few more from the series …

Today we’re featuring another great iPhone artist who was kind enough to get in touch via our site contact form – Rita Flores.  Naturally, I’m very glad that Rita reached out, and I’ve been enjoying browsing through her many lovely iPhone works.

The lighthouse image above was done using Brushes.  Hit the jump for a couple more beautiful images from Rita …

I think there are many reasons why a piece of art may hit home for me.  Sometimes it is the overall power of an image, sometimes it is just the colors, sometimes it is that an image takes me somewhere – to a well-remembered place from the past or even a never-visited place I’d love to go.

Sally Ann La Main’s iPhone artworks do quite a bit of all of that for me.  The image above, for instance, hits me because of its striking colors and kind of quiet beauty – but also takes me back to harsh winters in the North East when I was growing up.

What a powerful, haunting image.  It’s called Turning Blue and it’s by Kara Jansson Kovasev, who was kind enough to contact us via our site contact form and point us in the direction of her iPhone drawings.

Many of her iPhone artworks are quite striking and haunting, but this is my current favorite.

Check out all of Kara’s iPhone drawings HERE.

I don’t even know where this place is (OK I do now because I cheated and Googled it), but as Tina Fey would say ‘I want to go to there’.  Really enjoy the colors on this image.

It’s by Russ Croop, who is a professional photographer, and only does this iPhone art stuff as a sort of sideline hobby.  In other words, way too many talents – we hate him

I first spotted this image in the excellent iCreated app, from our friend David Scott Leibowitz. I like the colors and the feeling that there’s lots to discover within it – oh, and of course the tiger.  Who doesn’t like tigers?

I also very much like the poem that Blue Sky Day lists as the inspiration for this piece – here’s just a little slice of it:

Now the doors are all open, the air is mother-of-pearl, and you know the way to tame a tiger. It will not elude you today for you have grabbed a brush, you have dipped it almost at random, so high is your rage, into the amalgam of color, formless on a docile palette.

Over the last several months I’ve been continually astounded at the wonderful art being produced on iPhones, and have been discovering more and more amazingly talented artists who are embracing the medium.  One of my top, top favorites is la legra negra, or José Andrés Guijarro Ponce.

The image above is just one recent example of the many, many iPhone works of his that I love.  This one has caught my attention because the image itself is striking, and also because José Andrés has provided a brilliant four-step tutorial on how he produced it.

Talk about an image that grabs you by the scruff of the neck – this one by Mike Miller did that and shook me some.  Far better than my words for this image though, are those of his peers.  Here are some of those:

It’s Happy Hour, a 3-for-1 special on this one – as I’m a huge basketball fan, a big fan of Pau Gasol, and an admirer of the iPhone art of José Andrés Guijarro Ponce.

The image is based on this photo of Gasol in action for the Lakers against the Dallas Mavericks.  Nice to see the transformation from NBA to national team – and I’ve enjoyed watching Gasol’s talent and intelligence on the court in both those uniforms.

Inspired by an mix: George Dmitriev, moon and sea, 2005 & Ivan Aivazovski, the ninth wave, 1850

That’s the brief description provided by the artist, Fernando López del Hierro, for this stunning piece.  I have to admit, I have no clue who either of the folks mentioned are, but I just cannot take my eyes off this image and find it immensely powerful.

When you have a moment, check out López del Hierro’s full photostream HERE.
