iPad Paintings: Procreate App

Been lazy with my iPad paintings lately. These are the more recent ones I did. One on top was a late night painting. One at the bottom is an early morning view of my backyard. Both done in Procreate app. Fun.

iPad Paintings: ProcreateHD and ArtRage Apps

First two artworks were done using my new favorite art app, Procreate HD. It has the easiest-to-use interface among painting apps out there. Plus amazing brushes and paint tools. It's hi res capability is perfect for the new iPad retina display. The third painting was done with ArtRage app. Artrage carried over its strong oil texture and behavior to this mobile app version. Fun.

iPad/iPhone Paintings Exhibit Recap

On top are the iPad paintings I did for exhibit at the iPOP Culture Fest in Hong Kong two weeks ago. The theme was halloween. Then above is the Steve Jobs portrait I used for the press demo as tribute to him. The exhibit floor (below) was so cool. They played the stroke by stroke videos (from Brushes app) on five big LED screens and framed them to look like giant iPhones.

Had to visit HK Disneyland.

Beautiful view of Hong Kong skyline, shot from the Peak.

Then a visit in Metro Manila, Philippines...

iPOP Culture Festival in Hong Kong

I'll be at the iPOP Culture Festival in Hong Kong on October 19-23. This fest is part of celebrating last week's opening of the two-level, 15000 sq. ft. all glass, most expensive Apple store in the world located at the IFC shopping mall in HK (complete with Steve Jobs' classic staircase inside). The organizers commissioned me to do 10 iPad paintings which they will exhibit during the festival. I will also do a two-day iPhone/iPad painting demo during the event.

Since it's Halloween season, the theme for the ipaintings they gave me is Hollywood horror classics. I gave my own, fun take on them and here's one of the ten.

They will also show the stroke by stroke quicktime videos of these ipaintings. All artworks are not retouched outside iPhone/iPad and completely done using Brushes and Photoshop Express apps. Will post more after the event.
