Another nail in Apple's coffin of "cool"

Yep, that's why MacRumors posters don't get to decide what is/isn't art.

You do, it's not illegal to be in disagreement. And the whole discussion about whether what art is, is silly anyway. As if there is an universal truth about personal preferences. As long as you can add value to someones life with your work and you have paying customers, then you are in.

The Waterlogue app looks quite nice, it's temporarily free through the Apple Store app (only).

They know what they're doing.

If she spent more than five minutes on each of these doodles, I'd be surprised. But that's the point, if a serious artist or illustrator looks at these, they're going to think to themselves Man, if I had an iPad I could do better than that daddio!

Cool is always defined by, and originated in African America. I guess that's what the whole Beats fiasco is about: trying to buy back some Cool. Good luck lol.

The rest of the world doesn't even have Cool as a concept. That's why Apple is just a blip everywhere else except the US.

That is not art. It's etch-a-sketch.

Apple--you'd get much more interesting art with a pen digitizer

I had the opportunity to take a class with a semi-famous artist and she liked to ask us big questions like, "What is art?" and she always had pretty interesting discussions. We all brought in examples of what we considered was good art and what was bad art. While everyone varied on what kind of art they thought was good, there was an overall theme that hyperrealism was what the class as a whole thought was good art, and abstract and non-objective art was generally seen as bad art.

After that, she said she had been doing that with her classes in the past, and noticed that it was kind of a trend that people are more interested in photorealistic/hyperrealistic art now then there has been in the last 40 or so years. Just kind of interesting!

People tend to like the familiar, and not want to get into unknown territory. You can apply that to pretty much everything - Art, movies, music, technology, etc.

Those Nomoco paintings actually remind me of a game called Spirits that came out years ago.
