Ipod and Iphone Art Volume 1








Hi!

Care for your creations to be seen in the Appstore?

Since I've started drawing and posting some artwork  on the  Colors! and Brushes Flickr websites,  I realized that there are some really good artists out there using the Ipod and Iphone devices for occasional sketches, illustration, comics or concept art.

So here's an idea!

I would like to publish a free application for the Appstore of Apple with a selection of some of the best artworks done sofar on the Iphone or the IPod Touch. 

Artworks can be full color paintings, pencil sketches, comics (short stories only- eg between 5 frames to 15 frames or Ipod-Iphone screen),  abstract art , figurative art , etc...

There is no restriction of Iphone/Ipod software used for the creation of your work, it just has to be inspiring, beautiful, exciting or thought provoking.
In short, the aim is to surprise the world with what is possible to do on this small but revolutionary device. But remember that  applications have to be approved by Apple, so no rude or shocking pictures of any kind can be accepted.
Also provide in your email any possible link or proof that your submitted work has effectively been done on the mentioned devices.

Rights will remain full property of the authors-artists. Once again, no money will be made from this publication, it will be a completely free application.
This could be a good promotion for you as your artworks will show full credits of its authors (emails and websites if desired). 

If you are interested, please email your picture(s) to this address:

ipodartvol1@gmail.com

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

I will be the jury for the selection because I cannot do otherwise, so you'll have to trust/accept my judgement on this (actually based on more than 24 years as a professional in the image/animation industry). Future issues (if this happens to work...) will involve some of  the best artists of this first volume in the jury. 
 
But please, be selective on your side with what you will send and limit the number of pictures you send to 4

One featured artist will be chosen and one of his/her picture will be used as a front cover for the book. 

This volume will be limited to around hundred pages, maybe more, depending on the number of megabytes it will finally do.

 Deadline for submission is 25th of April. Actual publication date will depend on the release of the application by Apple, hopefully within a month after this deadline.

Spread the word around you and I hope to see your pictures in this ebook!

All the best,

Thierry Schiel
