Creative Arts in the cloud

Sorry for the late post.  Anyway, I really do foresee a transformation in art in the digital realm creeping up on us.  I don't own an iphone but plenty of friends that do have let me tinker with the vast applications they have.  You can take pictures and even super impose faces or things within the pictures; right on the phone.  It is amazing what can be done with a 2" x 3" rectangular electronic device.  It is actually mind boggling.  My favorite aspect of art in the digital realm is the utilities and applications that allow you to free hand draw, in digital form.  I mean obviously these utilities lack serious detail, but I am sure over time, it will be possible to "paint" a complete picture via digital format.  Only time will tell!  The nice thing about art in the cloud; is unlike other things, I don't feel that it is a threat to the old styles and traditions of art; as opposed to the threat of physical communication, posed by the cloud.  I definitely want to get a digital sketch pad, that hooks up via USB!  Awesome!
