Artrage: Ambient Design
A
friend sent me an email saying that the Los Angeles Times recently ran
a piece entitled "Subway Sketchers Create an Online Community" featured
NYC artist, Ed Velandria and documented his use of the paint and
drawing software, ArtRage.
I missed it, but I was able to catch Velandria's work on his flickr account...
(0617-F) Old School Bob Ross Fro.
Happy little clouds. Happy little clouds.
In a graphic commentary on the intersection of technology and everyday life, Velandria uses the time he spends on his daily subway rides from Brooklyn to Manhattan to sketch portraits of other subway riders on his laptop computer with ArtRage and a digital drawing tablet.
ArtRage, by Ambient Design, allows anyone to easily paint and draw realistically. Users can use artistic tools such as oils, pencils, Crayons, airbrush, chalk and markers. There are also choices of canvas size, paper grains, stencils and layers. ArtRage is ideal for all artists including hobbyists and the education market.
