iHockney, Artist David Hockney uses his iPhone to paint mini masterpieces

"The 71-year-old has taken to using the touchscreen of his iPhone to create mini-masterpieces."

"Hockney has had the phone for only four months, but he has already turned it into a hi-tech canvas. It even fits neatly on a miniature easel in his London studio."

"He has painted flowers and drawn landscapes on the iPhone, which is manufactured by Apple and lets users input commands directly on the colour screen with their fingers."

"As well as being a mobile phone, the iPhone takes pictures, plays music or video and acts like a handheld computer with high-speed internet access."

"I lie in bed and send illustrated art lectures to friends and also my own iPhone paintings,' said Hockney. 'I like to draw flowers by hand on the iPhone and send them out to friends so they get fresh flowers. And my flowers last!"

I know this is not strictly photo related, but it is art related and photography is an art, so I thought I'd post extracts from this article from the Mail online.
