“Smile,” using Harmonious app, by Mary Gow
You can make art wherever you are with a drawing application called Harmonious, created by the Angry Robot Zombie Factory.
Even if you are on a desktop, you can create drawings on your computer by going to the Harmonious Sketchpad!
Here’s a few drawings I created. For more examples check out the Harmonious gallery of creations.
Enjoy the 11 different line types and unlimited color choices. I like the undo that goes back at least 7 steps.
I hope you’ll give Harmonious a try if you haven’t already found it.
Do you have a favorite drawing app you’d like to tell us about?
Coming out of the garage heading to San Francisco City Hall I couldn’t miss this beautiful lively inflated red lotus flower sculpture. The leaves are motorized though the wind helped them move even more. “Breathing Flower” was created by internationally renowned Korean artist, Choi Jeong Hwa. The flower opens and closes as though it’s alive!
The large photos range from five to fifteen feet tall and are the first artworks ever to appear on the exterior walls of the San Francisco Public Library. The “Making Mothers Visible” show is part of a global photography exhibition sponsored by the International Museum of Women.
Getting back to the video above. There was someone handing out flyers and music was coming from their boombox. It magically matched the poetry of the moving flower.
Thank you Choi Jeong Hwa for your creative inspiration!
I have a secret about a scrumptious view of San Francisco. It’s at an exquisitely light-filled space and its staff has for 54 years had the generosity to host an annual art show! The Potrero Hill 54th Annual Artists Exhibition runs through June 1st.
The current show features the work of sixty artists ranging from sculpture and ceramics to painting and photography.
If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path place to see San Francisco, check out this awesome space, especially the six seats on the other side of the magazine showcase on the second floor.
This is the same neighborhood where painter Wayne Thiebaud moved to in 1973. For more about Thiebaud and the Potrero neighborhood see Philip’s Garden Blog’s observations of the streets of Potrero Hill and Thiebaud’s depictions of them.
My piece in the show is a digitally manipulated scanogram titled “Seeds of Joy.” I produced it by placing objects on my scanner, and then pushed it further using Photoshop.
The scanner offers a stable surface for placing objects and the photo mechanism is securely mounted. What a treat for composing elements.
