Microsoft Touch Mouse and The Art of Touch | Giveaway

    Microsoft has a new line of TouchMouse. They have a campaign to cooinside with it called the Art of Touch and have invited a few artists to participate and more to drive interest with free shwag! Basically that boils down to me having a Microsoft Touch Mouse to give away! So go play with the app and link a comment to your art. I’ll randomly select someone for the award as a christmas present! Be sure to comment with an email address you’ll reply to.

    I played with the drawing app, and while it’s not totally generative, it does add a sense of randomness to it. It’s fun in that it tried to incorporate a few different styles of artists, including one of my favorites, Erik Natzke. Here’s what Erik had to say:

    Along with the custom brush that I designed for them, there are an assortment of brush styles they’ve designed to help hone in on your artistic flair that you can share, print & even compete to win some prizes. The link below will allow you to vote on the one I just made. I’m curious what other people will make.

    And here’s what I came up with in a couple minutes:

    Comment below with a link to your art to be entered to win a new Microsoft Touch Mouse this Christmas.

      Touch Specific Media Queries in CSS4

      Proposals in the works for new media queries specific to touch enabled devices.
