David Kassan: iPad Finger Painting At Its Absolute Best

June 29, 2010

I am not an art critic and I don’t know any­thing about the art of fin­ger paint­ing; this is just an opin­ion by a guy who has a decent eye for some­thing that looks good. And David Jon Kassan’s fin­ger paint­ing using the iPad as his can­vas is absolutely bril­liant. Check out the iPad fin­ger paint video on YouTube. I viewed it at 720p and it looked amazing.

The live iPad fin­ger paint­ing took about three hours and was streamed live world­wide from Brooklyn, New York on Monday, June 21, 2010. The model was Henry William Oelkers. Music was “Monoliths” in the album Passages by Maserati. iTunes has Monoliths as a free download.

I hopped on over to davidkassan.com and here’s a quote from “Statement”:

Time is the most valu­able thing that we all have, the one aspect of daily life that we can not get back once its gone. I want to use time while try­ing to under­stand the world around me. Painting is my note­book, my sound­ing board.

He has a blog at blog.davidkassan.com, is on Facebook (www.facebook.com/kassan), tweets (twitter.com/davidkassan) and pro­duced a DVD titled “Drawing Closer to Life” (dvd.davidkassan.com).
