Art Inspiration

Sometimes artists get stuck and need a little inspiration. If you are stumped about what to create with your Wacom tablet, you can look at these typography examples. I'm a big fan of typography as art. When it is done really well, it looks clean and simple, but makes a strong impact.

Ji Lee, an artist at Google Creative Lab, decided to challenge himself by using the letters of words to describe the word.

For example, the word condom is spelled in a bold font with the "c" extended around the "ondom" to represent a simplistic and classy condom. Another word is "exit" where the X appears to be running towards an I that is made to look like a door. Both get the words meaing across so cleverly. Brilliant!

Art Inspiration!

I think I'm better off not assigning a day to be "Art Inspiration" day. I seemed to have missed last week and the week before was on Friday. So, from now on, I'm not sticking to a specific day even though it will most likely always be Monday. 

Here are some examples of art that can only be created by getting out of the house (and if you have snow)! This kind of thing reminds me that I should occassionally step away from my Wacom tablet and computer and be creative outdoors!

First two images are of snow drawings by Sonja Hinrichsen. Last three 3d-looking pieces were made by Simon Beck.

Samsung 10 Inch Galaxy Note Tries to Compete With Wacom Tablets

So far, I have heard a few people ridicule the new Samsung Galaxy Note because of it's size. Combining a tablet and phone together seems like a good idea until you realize you will be holding a phone that is as big as your face up to your ear. The Galaxy Note might be a good tablet option for those wanting a smaller design, but a phone? I'm not sold. What do you think? Is the Samsung Galaxy Note on your wish list?
Stealing features from the Galaxy Tab tablet and Note phone/tablet/whatever-it-is, the 10.1 inch Galaxy Note is aimed squarely at the creative types. Just like the rumours suggested, the Ice Cream Sandwich tablet comes with an S Pen stylus for sketching or jotting down notes, with the new marketing buzzword “S Note,”

Art Inspiration Wednesday (on Friday)!

I must admit that I had trouble being inspired this week and decided to focus on giving my office a huge overhaul. Before I knew it, Wednesday was over and then Thursday. I still feel a bit uninspired, but chose to focus my theme on Presidents in honor of President's day! Not the most exciting inspiration, I know. Sadly, I had a lot of trouble finding cool and unique art of presidents. The most I could find are of Obama, so don't think I'm trying to make any political statements with the following images. :)
