Title: Surface Pro "Pencil" Art?
Post by: Jon on 24 November, 2014, 06:29:29 PM
Hi.

A friend of mine has been asked to produce an article on Behalf of Microsoft for the Huffington Post entitled, "The 10 most amazing pencil drawings actually drawn on a Microsoft Surface". To this end he was wondering if I knew of anyone who has produced pencil-like work on a Surface Pro.

On reflection, I guess that's pretty succinctly explained in the title. It's good to clarify though.

As part of the article he needs to include a slide-show of work plus links to some of the better practitioners. If anyone here has produced anything that might qualify, and fancies a bit of additional exposure, then please give me a shout.

Similarly, I am entirely ignorant of any artists out there in the world at large blazing a trail in this area. If anyone could link me towards some I'd be real grateful. 'cos, you know, then I can look clever in front of him.

Huffpo commissions sponsored puff-pieces?
I'd start a discussion about ethics in journalism, but those never seem to end well.

Yeah, I know.

I said I'd ask though.

I was only joshing.

A Google Images search will help you out here, I'd imagine.  These days the ratio of pornographic images in search results is pretty low, so it's probably safe to try it.

Yeah, I did a bit of that. Doesn't seem to be an entirely credible platform. Well, not yet...
