Glass Houses

There are also some others I group, partly because of their stone tones, also because of the shapes. Distinctive iPhone finger painting. I came up with the name glass houses, linking the stones and the finger pointing.

Net Works

I have been working on the iPhone making images for a while now. There is a swag of them on Flickr. It is fascinating how different apps (and I think I have them all!) lead me to create different styles. Here are two that I spotted today that I can imagine in a larger series, I am not sue how I made them now, I don’t think the “series” would be dependant on the methods used anyway.

iPhone sketches

I am enjoying the touch screen to make sketches. Here are a few, already uploaded to flickr. One thing about these small screens they are touch enabled! They can do stuff the PC can\’t do so well unless you have a tablet PC. I have tried three apps so far & they are each delightful in their own way! Having used different apps (!) on my tablet it is amazing how different tools warm me up to different things.Free app: DoodleIt

\"DoodleIt\"\n\n\"DoodleIt\"\n\niGraffitti\n\nHas an interesting shadow feature. Also has a website they can go to\n\n\"photo.jpg\"\n\n\"I\'ve\"\n\n\nNetsketch \nThis one is vector based and so it is easy to scale! Have never mastered this on the PC. Also has a website gallery: my.netsketchapp.com\n\n\n\"Netsketch\"\n\n\nThere is an art pool on flicker for iPhone sketches\n\n\n\n

Jasper Johns

I am reading, or rather just treasuring a book about Jasper Johns’ “Grey” – tied in with this – exhibition in Chicago

book

Now doing my usual netscan and blogging.

Wikipedia

Here is a readable essay, from the New York Times, it concludes:

Unlike so many contemporary artists producing in today’s overheated art market, Mr. Johns relies neither on dozens of assistants nor a computer to make his creations. He executes his work by hand. “It’s a different art world from the one I grew up in,” he said, relaxing in his living room in a pair of khaki shorts, a light blue shirt and sandals. “Artists today know more. They are aware of the market more than they once were. There seems to be something in the air that art is commerce itself.

“I haven’t really been a part of it, although I’m sure in some way I am. It just doesn’t interest me.”

Asked what influence he feels he may have had on those young artists, Mr. Johns paused. “To me,” he said, “self-description is a calamity.”
