Who doesn’t love the ocean and a good stretch of beach? I love the colors and the mood in this image – I feel like I’ve been on that beach on a stormy late afternoon.

It’s called simply ‘Beach’ and it was done in the Brushes app on an iPhone, by Kevin Gallagher.

Another lovely image from our good friend (and creator of this site’s banner image) Corliss Blakely.

I know Corliss is very enthusiastic about the iPad, and I can’t wait to see the work she produces on it.

In the meantime,  to see lots more of Corliss’ artwork visit here site at:

Boy I love this image.  It is called Christmas doggy, and is by Luis Peso.

I’m a huge dog lover and this one feels festive as hell to me – especially since I own a big lovable white Labrador who outweighs this little guy by around 100 pounds and will not wear a hat for us

For my money, nothing says festive like Labradors and Christmas hats!

It’s Christmas Eve and I’m feeling very much in the holiday spirit, looking forward to family visiting our house soon, and in the mood to enjoy  holiday imagery created on the iPhone.

This is the first image that grabbed my attention when I began browsing some of my favorite Flickr streams.  It is called Oh Christmas Tree and is the work of Susan Murtaugh, one of the excellent editors of the great fingerpainted.it site.

Hit the jump for one more lovely iPhone image from Susan …

We have featured some of Dave’s great iPhone artwork in the past, and this one caught my eye several weeks back.  I’ve been meaning to post about it ever since I first saw it. 

This reminds me instantly of the view we enjoyed at my wife’s parent’s lake house up on Lake Worth.  Lovely, sort of elegant bird.

It was done on the Brushes app.  To see more of Dave Webb’s iPhone works, check out his Flickr stream HERE.

Today we’re featuring another great iPhone artist who was kind enough to get in touch via our site contact form – Rita Flores.  Naturally, I’m very glad that Rita reached out, and I’ve been enjoying browsing through her many lovely iPhone works.

The lighthouse image above was done using Brushes.  Hit the jump for a couple more beautiful images from Rita …

I think there are many reasons why a piece of art may hit home for me.  Sometimes it is the overall power of an image, sometimes it is just the colors, sometimes it is that an image takes me somewhere – to a well-remembered place from the past or even a never-visited place I’d love to go.

Sally Ann La Main’s iPhone artworks do quite a bit of all of that for me.  The image above, for instance, hits me because of its striking colors and kind of quiet beauty – but also takes me back to harsh winters in the North East when I was growing up.

What a powerful, haunting image.  It’s called Turning Blue and it’s by Kara Jansson Kovasev, who was kind enough to contact us via our site contact form and point us in the direction of her iPhone drawings.

Many of her iPhone artworks are quite striking and haunting, but this is my current favorite.

Check out all of Kara’s iPhone drawings HERE.

I don’t even know where this place is (OK I do now because I cheated and Googled it), but as Tina Fey would say ‘I want to go to there’.  Really enjoy the colors on this image.

It’s by Russ Croop, who is a professional photographer, and only does this iPhone art stuff as a sort of sideline hobby.  In other words, way too many talents – we hate him

I first spotted this image in the excellent iCreated app, from our friend David Scott Leibowitz. I like the colors and the feeling that there’s lots to discover within it – oh, and of course the tiger.  Who doesn’t like tigers?

I also very much like the poem that Blue Sky Day lists as the inspiration for this piece – here’s just a little slice of it:

Now the doors are all open, the air is mother-of-pearl, and you know the way to tame a tiger. It will not elude you today for you have grabbed a brush, you have dipped it almost at random, so high is your rage, into the amalgam of color, formless on a docile palette.

Talk about an image that grabs you by the scruff of the neck – this one by Mike Miller did that and shook me some.  Far better than my words for this image though, are those of his peers.  Here are some of those:

It’s Happy Hour, a 3-for-1 special on this one – as I’m a huge basketball fan, a big fan of Pau Gasol, and an admirer of the iPhone art of José Andrés Guijarro Ponce.

The image is based on this photo of Gasol in action for the Lakers against the Dallas Mavericks.  Nice to see the transformation from NBA to national team – and I’ve enjoyed watching Gasol’s talent and intelligence on the court in both those uniforms.

For lots more of the excellent work of José Andrés Guijarro Ponce, see his Flickr stream HERE.

Inspired by an mix: George Dmitriev, moon and sea, 2005 & Ivan Aivazovski, the ninth wave, 1850

That’s the brief description provided by the artist, Fernando López del Hierro, for this stunning piece.  I have to admit, I have no clue who either of the folks mentioned are, but I just cannot take my eyes off this image and find it immensely powerful.

When you have a moment, check out López del Hierro’s full photostream HERE.

It’s been far too long between updates here – I’ll try to improve on that soon.  Today I’m very happy to feature another iPhone artist – who claims not to be an artist – who approached us directly via our site contact form: David Khabie-Zeitoune.

David has dived into iPhone art by doing a set of portraits with the iPhone and the wonderful Brushes application:

Sleeping commuters I sit opposite on my way to or from work. All created with Brushes on the iPhone, mostly in real-time (i.e. on the Tube).

I spotted this image originally in the wonderful iCreated app and it hit me like a ton of bricks.  Just an epic and powerful feeling image.  Each time I’ve gone back to admire it in iCreated or on Flickr, it’s struck me the same way.

It’s called ‘The Wooden Sword’ and it’s by Luis Peso.

I’m so happy to see a few iPhone artists starting to approach us directly via our site contact form, as today’s featured iPhone artist, David Webb, did.

The work above is titled ‘iSpanish Steps’ and here is some background on it, from David’s description on his Flickr stream:

This is my favorite house in the whole city. If only I had a few million. It reminds me of Mexico, where I lived for a couple of years. Painted using iPhone and "Brushes" app.

We’ve featured Benjamin Rabe, along with his two very talented co-editors at fingerpainted.it, in a post a few weeks back.

I love this one shown above.  It feels magical and funny and beautiful all at once.  Hey – maybe that’s not a bad way to describe a princess, or a bunny.

This one is titled The Birth of Brushbunny, and was done with the Brushes 2 beta.

Check out more of Benjamin’s magical stuff HERE.

I can’t remember the last time I saw birches, so this was a sight for sore eyes for me.  It’s by David Hayward – another discovery via Twitter for me – and done with the Brushes app.

I love the lines and sort of regal stance of a proper sailing ship – and I think Kevin Barba shows that off very well in his Pirate Ship image.  I am trying hard to avoid all bad ‘barba-rous’ puns.

Kevin was kind enough to get in touch with us via our site contact from, and I’m ever so glad he did.

This one caught my eye from miles away, or the browsing through Flickr groups equivalent of that at any rate. 

It’s by William Lehman, done with the Brushes app, and this was the first piece of his that I’d come across.  Since then, I’ve been delving into both his Flickr stream and his blog site, and thoroughly enjoying both.

Two big reasons I like this one: the colors and just how fun an image it is.  Suits the weekend perfectly – oh, and my daughter loves it, that’d be Reason No. 3.

It’s by Matthew Watkins, one of the three great editor / artists over at fingerpainted.it who we mentioned a few days back – and done with the Brushes app.

Check out Matthew’s full Flickr stream HERE, and his blog HERE, where you can keep up not only with his creations, but also some wonderfully creative stories that accompany many of them.

So much of Steve John’s work jumps off the page at me when I look through his Flickr sets, or any stream he is a part of – but I found myself continually returning to look at this one.

I think I find it a little haunting.  I know I find it captivating.

You can see the video of the making of this one HERE – and all of Steve’s latest iPhone work HERE.

I’ve said it before many times, and will no doubt say it lots more in future – Thank You Twitter.  Yesterday I discovered the iPhone artwork of Mike Miller thanks to the all-conquering social network. 

I love the image above, ‘Into the Riddlewoods’, and especially its spectacularly vibrant colors.
