iPod and iPhone Art Volume 2





Hi fellow i-artists!

The first ebook on iphone and iTouch has been very well received on the Appstore (around 2500 downloads in 12 days) and still counting, like they say ;) .

Some comments posted on the Appstore about the ebook:

* What these artists are able to create on little screens is very inspiring! Thanks for giving artists a place to show their "Brushes" work!

* Recomendo este ebook para que vejam as obras de arte que podem ser criadas com as aplicações do iphone. Grande selecção! :D

* Muy muy muy bueno. Los dibujos son increibles, algunos te dejan sin palabras pero en mi opinión sería mucho mejor si tuviese un índice para poder ir a cada artista directamente. Muy bueno.

* Det er et rigtig godt app men det er ikke for alle. For tiden går jeg meget op i "mobilart". Men hvis du ikke gør kan du godt springe over. Men egentlig fedt at man kan lave sådan noget på en mobil. (can't understand this one, but it sounds like a good review...)

* Wunderschönes App. Die Bilder sind traumhaft.

* amazing pieces of artwork...but time for a MobilArt2!

*I love beauty and this art certainly qualifies. Thanks to all those who contributed.

*Amazing, I am impressed, can' t wait for volume 2



So, the time has now come for a second volume of astonishing finger and stylus paintings done on your favorite App! :)
The aim is still to surprise the iPhone and iPod Touch owners around the world with what is possible to do on these devices.
Only now the challenge will be to make an even better ebook than the first one.

-------------

Rules are mostly the same as for volume one, apart from the deadline of course, so here is a little reminder:

-send your 4 or 5 best pictures in high quality Jpeg format- original resolution (480X320) is fine.
-if you send a comic, make sure it's no more than 12 pages/screen,compressed into one rar or zip file.
-any link or info proving your picture(s) was created on Ipod-Iphone
-specify if you want your internet coordinates to be watermarked over your art. Private or other.
-submit your pictures to this same address:

ipodartvol1@gmail.com
it's more convenient to keep this address than changing it....

-deadline is midnight GMT on the 20th of July ( emails sent after this date will probably not be considered)
-spread the word around you!
;)
--------
Again one featured artist will be interviewed and one of his/her picture will be used as a front cover for the ebook.

Plus some surprises... of course!

Important notes:
There is no restriction of Iphone/Ipod Touch software used for the creation of your work, it just has to be inspiring, beautiful, exciting or thought provoking.
I would like to keep the rating +4 for this collection, so no rude or shocking pictures of any kind will be accepted.

Rights will remain full property of the authors-artists. No money will be made from this publication, it will be again a completely free downloadable application.

Lastly, if you intend to take part to this ebook please let me know about it in advance by email, eventually telling me how many paintings you will be submitting. This will be of great help for the organization of the work I'll have to do. Thanks in advance :)

If you want to be informed about this project, drop me an email (at the same address) or register to this page as a Follower (up left).

Happy painting!
