Using a scanner for art
I saw an artist on an arts programme who goes into the US version of pounds stores and buys crappy things like plastic flowers, animals etc - the tattier and cheaper the better. He then sets up the items like in the old masters still lifes and scans them. They look amazing. I will find his details and add to this post another time. In the meantime is put some real flowers on my scanner and placed a black box over them. I also did one of my face then worked it in photoshop. Looks like a death mask. Would like to do more of this and then perhaps paint the results.
Just found this site on scanner art:

Digital Drawing
In preparation for getting an ipad (deciding if i would really use it to draw) i wanted to explore what it's like to draw digitally in a life and portrait class so i took my laptop with a graphics tablet to class. I liked it. It was freeing. Not great drawings as i was getting use to the brush controls and since most of the sittings were between 30secs and 5 mins i didn't get chance to finish anything but i like fast drawing so that didn't matter. I had seen Hockney's iphone and ipad drawings and had seen someone in a class using their iphone and ipad to draw and it looked great.
Quite liking this watercolour artist
found by accident in an online search http://watercolorart.com/
