Beyoncé

iPad Painting

Brushes App

This iPad finger painting of Beyoncé was my first serious attempt at painting with an iPad. It took 8 hours to complete in June 2010, only weeks after I purchased my first iPad. It was painted in the Brushes iPad app and exported as a video using the Brushes viewer application.

Viral

On the 1st July 2010, I uploaded a speeded up video of the painting to YouTube and the video quickly began to draw attention. Within the first few days the video was viewed around 200,000 times and featured on a number of popular technology websites - Including Macworld.com, TUAW and Cnet.

Amazingly, the video was spotted by Sony Music and featured on Beyoncé's official website. Since then the video went on to be viewed almost half a million times and featured on BBC's - The One Show and at the Macworld Expo 2011 in San Francisco.
