Digital Painting on the iPad

Karen on the iPad

Ever since David Kassan showed me a time-lapse video of his first iPad painting I’ve been dying to try it for myself. After a long wait, I finally got my hands on an iPad and started experimenting over the holidays. Thus far I’ve used Sketchbook Express, ArtRage and my app of choice, Procreate. I’ve also tried out a few different stylus’, preferring the hand-held approach to the ‘finger painting’ method. At the moment I’m using a Targus 2-in-1 Executive Stylus which combines a conductive touch-screen nib with a traditional roller ball pen.

Recently, the good folks over at Targus caught wind of my doodling and asked to interview me about integrating the iPad into my work. You can check it out here: Artist Pushes Creative Boundaries With Apple iPad.

Music To Paint To

I’ve always loved music. As a kid my father would routinely break out his vast record collection and educate me on the likes of Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Earth, Wind and Fire, Stevie Wonder, The Clash, Cat Stevens, David Bowie, Jethro Tull, Joy Division, John Coltrane and many, many others. As I grew up I consumed music, sampling everything from Bluegrass to House to the sounds of the Middle East and India. Needless to say my music tastes today are a bit varied.

Music is an integral part of my work process and to that end I’ve decided to start sharing what I listen to here on the blog. This first installment is a DJ set perfect for rallying when fatigue sets in. Play it when you need to stay up for an all-nighter or kick ass at the gym. It comes courtesy of Per Qx, a Swedish DJ and Producer based in London. Enjoy.
