David Hockney – one of Britain’s most acclaimed and accomplished artists – is now creating art on the iPad.  Last year Hockney adopted the iPhone as his primary canvas for new art, and this year he has graduated to the iPhone’s new big brother.

London’s Evening Standard newspaper has a great article up reporting on Hockney’s engagement with the iPad, and his views on the device are very interesting.

I’m way overdue on posting this.  Our good friend David Scott Leibowitz let me know about this weeks ago and I just haven’t had a chance to get to it.  In fact, I’m way behind on posting here generally – and I’m hoping to correct that starting today.

Anyway – the good news that David shared with me is that the whole iPhone art movement got some great coverage in a premier printed magazine about art – ART News magazine.  The feature is shown in the scan above.

Juan XXIII by Xoan Baltar, painted in Brushes

As you might have noticed from our site banner, this site is all about exploring what artists have been up to on the iPhone. It turns out that Apple’s little smartphone does a lot more than just call, text, and break in and out of jail with every firmware update. With the advent of the App Store, it’s also becoming a fantastic mobile canvas for when inspiration strikes.

We’re not talking just about amazing illustrations from artists like Corliss Blakely, David Scott Leibowitz (whose works are featured on iCreated), or Xoan Baltar (sample shown above) but also all of the other creative content made with the various photography and instrumental apps. Who ever thought you could walk on-stage with a phone and have it turn into an Ocarina? Or how about filming a whole music video — sure it’s not a world’s first — but it still a little breathtaking to think about all that can be done with a glass screen, a bit of Cupertino, and a dash of creativity.

We’ll tend to keep our posts pretty light on the words, and heavier on the presentation of new content — but in this first post we’d also like to say a big thank you to Corliss Blakely for creating our awesome new site banner. We hope to become a regular destination for engaging, high-quality art made on the iPhone, and we think the banner gives us a great head start. We’re also hoping the site will become an effective showcase for talented iPhone artists and their works – perhaps even a good jumping-off point for discovering new ones. We’ve already got a number of posts lined up for publishing, but we’ve also set up a Contact page for artists who would like to submit some of their own pieces.

Thanks for visiting Just iPhone Art  — we’re glad the site is live, but we’re also still working on a few more ways to present all of the amazing content, so stick around!
