Gives a whole new meaning to "finger painting"

September 22, 2013 7:27 PM

Seikou Yamaoka spends a lot of time on his iphone. But he's not playing games or texting or reading, he's creating art. He's also created some amazingly hypnotic time-lapse videos of his works in creation, including this reproduction of Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring (done on an ipad mini rather than an iphone). Full gallery of his digital finger painting. He also does traditional watercolours.

Artist is artist, regardless of media.

Well, yes. But such a fascinating insight into the way the artist sees and expresses their art and how the medium inspires the artist.

Related: Chalk art, Girl with a Pearl iPhone. (1st Prize, natch. And this is also an in-progress gallery.)

I don't like to use the term "Amazeballs" when the words "Astounding" and "Amazing" exits and are non-gendered, but these are AMAZEBALLS.

The music is not in the piano.
