Micro Art

I have a ipod touch 4th gen and love the photoshop express app I downloaded, it's really fun to play with. I'll probably be taking more pictures on there now! I think creating art with different electrical devises is cool. I like a lot of the digital art that I see. It's cool how awesome some of the art is that you see. It must have taken them many long hours to get to make such great art, especially in the beginning. I think it's great for people to explore all these new art forms. But what I don't like is when I see people whining saying "why can't you just learn to draw things on the computer?" People are losing touch with the real world. I like to feel the art, like the brush strokes or blending the led from the pencils with your fingers. People easily forget about the old things.

Creative Commons

Creative commons is such an interesting thing that I have never heard about. Even during my year in a tech class. We did a section on copyright I wonder if they new about this? It's great that some artists allow people to at least use their works under certain conditions. It's better than waiting for many years for the artist to die and even many years after that in order to do anything with their works. It's amazing that creative commons is a nonprofit organization these day if you want to do anything with anything It'll cost you. It's always interesting hearing about new things like this, well not that new since it came out in 2001. How could I have gone with these many years not knowing about it?
