Fabric Lenny and myself for our first time perfuming together with the new TagTool and we were not disappointed. The Alberobello Light Festival was a perfect backdrop for our images. The new Tagtool is an entirely redesigned app. It retains much of the feel of the old version but adds a slew of new features from changing background colour to importing images and being able to create and save libraries of loops, just to mention a few.

Whoohoo!
Spanish artist Xoan Baltar, illustrator and fingerpainter par excellence, was one of the first to kick off the iPhone art revolution in 2008. Now he has pushed the curve again by releasing a game entirely fingerprinted on the iPad.
With the iPhone 2g Steve Jobs created a mobile computing revolution that changed everything. Although mobile art was not started on an iPhone, it certainly exploded there. Digital fingerpainting was born. And our community of finger painters shortly afterwards. iPhone fingerpainting represented a digital revolution. Artist from around the world creating, sharing. Being inspired. Being foolish. A democratic phenomena spreading art around the world in an un predicated manner. A cafe society on steroids. Mashing art, apps, finding new ways to express. Did Steve imagine all this from the beginning? Perhaps. Perhaps this and more. Or perhaps a true visionary just knows how to mix the cocktails that will please the senses and liberate the mind. Comfortable in the knowlege that it will lead to great things.
There will be new and wonderful smartphones and digital devices from apple and it’s competitors. More unbelievable art will be created.
Steve showed us the way and will be remembered alongside the greatest minds of history.
Here is the word from Ambient Design on the new release:
