'Brushes' for iphone
A colleague from work showed me another painting tool for the iphone. It's called 'brushes' and for my taste it feels even better than painting with 'colors'. The undo function is faster and it supports variable zoom levels. I have the feeling that it's more stable than 'colors' too. 'colors' freezed a couple of times but I didn't have trouble with 'brushes' yet. You have to change the opacity of the brush manually. I guess it's a matter of taste. Both are totally worth the 5 bugs.

iphone with stylus
I recently bought colors from the AppStore for my iPhone. They ported the software from the NDS. It's pretty much the same application as on the ds which is amazing.
The Opacity can be controled by tilting your iPhone. It has an undo function (which takes forever but I guess they'll fix it in the next version).
Since it's hard to paint with your fingers I bought the Pogo Stylus. It's one of the more expensive models (around 20$) but after reading reviews I found out that the cheaper pens have annoying delays. The stylus arrived yesterday! It's amazing and the opacity control with the iphone tilting works perfectly!
The guys from colors did again a great job! Here is my first iphone colors attempt.

Glowing Rabbit
Yesterday I went to an art supply store and bought some acrylics. It's been a long time since I used traditional media and this was my first time with acrylics.
So I started a painting based on a speed paint I made a couple of weeks ago.
The question mark turned out to be a glowing rabbit ^^.
Smooth gradients seem to be quiet difficult with acrylics T.T
Anyways I had a lot of fun so be prepared to see more traditional work from me in the future ^^

Santa Cruz
Finally some Pictures. ^^
I made a short road trip to Santa Cruz today driving along the coast line on highway no.1 with two friends of mine! Was a fun trip. And Santa Cruz was great!
The hot tub was the highlight of the evening... ^^

San Francisco
Hey guys I'm not dead! ^^
I'm really sorry for the lag of updates but I recently moved to San Francisco and I was very busy settling in the last 4 weeks. I've found a nice apartment in San Mateo, went to IKEA and FRY's a couple of times. I had a lot of trouble getting phone line, internet, credit card etc. without having a credit history....but that seems to be normal over here.
Anyways I'm pretty much settled in and I'm having a great time here in the bay area. The weather is awesome! It hasn't been raining since I arrived here five weeks ago. That's incredible for someone coming from Hamburg ^^
Work is awesome and I met a bunch of people I knew for years through the net.
So I just wanted to let you know that I'm enjoying a new chapter in my life here in CA and hopefully I'll be able to update my blog with new artwork soon!
