I bet there are more budding artists at this time than ever in history before us. And I welcome them all. Those involved in the making of art have a closer understanding with the fragile world around them. They tend to not take this for granted and show their appreciation in very visual, visceral ways. More artists... perhaps some day peace. Idealistic, sure but it's a start. We have something to talk to each other about. Something to connect us and make us look. And understand... and care... ^Up^</p> Ah thanks everyone, I think one of the best things about this new medium is so many can have access to it at virtually no cost.

It's so thrilling that these artists were so excited about Susan's talk and demonstration that they couldn't wait to try fingerpainting themselves and share their devices with those who didn't have one! I saw Susan's bound sketchbooks on her Flickr site, they are very cool!</p> Great article Mia, really well written!

I think you've conveyed the true sense of artists being curious about new ways to express themselves. As a tool, or sketchbook, or just a way to provide music while painting conventionally, the iPhone and Touch have extended our reach... and certainly all this discussion gives us more to think about. I had a blast meeting these fine artists and I look forward to seeing them again in the warmer summer!</p> Mia, thank you for such a well written article.
