Last month, Susan Murtaugh, Master Fingerpainter known for her amazing detail work, lively brushstrokes and true to life portraits, was invited to lead a discussion on ipod art at

Exploring the New Digital iPod Art was introduced to the group as an educational conversation about the validity of iPod art and how a professional artist might use it as a creative tool and/or incorporate it into their creative process.

On wednesday, apple might (or might not) reveal the long anticipated iPad. The most thorough ideas and speculations are coming again from John Gruber, and I also enjoy those funny interaction ideas emerging these days as well as giant iphone fantasies.

It’s…
“…a fascinating, international online exhibition curated by John Bavaro for the Art Academy of Cincinnati by request of the editorial staff of the Incliner.”
John Bavaro, artist and educator at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, has put together an online gallery, featuring many fingerpainters from around the world:

There are so many people out there starting to think about doing their own art-show of iPhone art now, so today we’re starting a new feature: we plan to build up a database of past and upcoming shows. You can even grab the feed of shows via your rss-reader or ical.
So please: check out the list, and if you plan to do an exhibition, feel free to add it via our form.

Please take a look at our newly revamped directory. I added paintings whenever the artist allowed sharing over on flickr. Also for new submission you can use this form now.
I’ll work on flickr feed based slideshows next, for now let me know what you think of it, what’s missing, etc.

Russ Croop, retired photography teacher turned iPhone artist, was featured in, not one, but TWO iphone art exhibits this past weekend. While featured among 25 artist from around the globe in the “iPhone Therefore iArt” at the Chicago Art Department, Russ also held a one man show entitled “Painting Through a Keyhole: the iPhone as Canvas” at the Dairy Center for the Arts in Boulder, CO. Both exhibits opened on January 8, 2010. And both proved to be hits.
