This new tool for illustrators looks soooooooooo cool. An artist can draw with a special ballpoint pen that’s simultaneously recorded digitally. That file can then be imported into Photoshop as layers.
After having time to think about how cool this is, I can’t help but wonder, “Why did it take so long?”
The scientist that discovered Penicillin (Alexander Fleming) painted with microbes. He would grow the colors he wanted, and then time the painting out to where the colors would grow in at the same time. Talk about a “one-night-only” show…
Cited in the Smithsonian Article, here’s some artists that are taking this concept one step further:
First, my version using coffee grounds and left-over strips of canvas for an art show entitled, “Recycled.”
2nd, a video of 4,000 cups of coffee turning into the Mona Lisa:
3rd, made with grease from hamburgers (this dude totally wins…)
Happy Artists
