This Wednesday Apple is releasing a “new creation.” Will this be the fabled Tablet? I think so. In fact, I really like one specific name for the device that is floating around: the Apple Canvas.
Whatever they call it, I decided to do a digital caricature of the man himself, Steve Jobs.
This digital caricature painting was created in Corel Painter using nothing else but a Mac!

Using Corel Painter 11 on my Wacom tablet and my Macbook Pro, I took a break from my iPhone programming to knock this out.
As you can see, it’s a feeble attempt at Glenn Beck. I drew it while watching his show this evening and finding a few reference photos online. Don’t be too offended, as I punched this out in about 2 hours. Cheers!

While many are waiting to see what good bit of new sexy Apple is going to release in two weeks, some companies like Microsoft and Google rush their announcements out this week at CES. Microsoft’s “new” tablet was wholly unremarkable.
I think this has got to be one of the best encapsulations of Microsoft’s current strategic direction:
Microsoft’s tablet “strategy” is like an Escher painting, full of staircases leading in every direction that all ultimately just go round in circles. The company so badly wants to be Prometheus, bringing fire to the mortals. Instead it’s like some drunk dude flicking matches at us. (Source: The Macalope)

Over the past year I have been learning how to program in Objective-C. Mostly, I’m doing this to develop iPhone Apps, but also for other future products that might be released by Apple. (Maybe a tablet? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
I’m very excited to say that my first app was approved just over a week ago. It’s an app for my wife, Angie, for her caricature business.
This is just a head’s up that you’ll be seeing much more in the way of iPhone programming, XCode, and Objective-C, as I write more code and develop more apps. In the meantime, here’s a video I did for her app:
You can read more about that app and see some of the marketing I’m doing around it at my company’s site: http://digitalblacksmiths.com/apps
