This is the first iPhone app that I’ve been really excited about using. It takes standard iphone pictures and gives them a simple crop and color wash making them into instant polaroids. You even have to shake the phone to get the photo to develop, which eventually turns out to be kind of annoying if you’re wanting to take a lot of pictures, but maybe someday they will release an ironic quick shooting polaroid app. At $.99 it’s a great deal. Get it here.

The app is by GreyScaleGorilla – a great site for AfterEffects tutorials, and general goodness.

If I had any kind of cash, I’d have Dave Ellis paint my house. Really fresh, free of ’spray art’ wall cliches, Ellis’ paintings are full of movement and energy. Click through his portfolio to see his industrial truck paintings.

Unfortunately not a lot of information on this site, but the art heartbreaking. Rich, warm portraits. I’m buying one of these (as soon as a little cash comes in the door). I’m really curious about how they’re made. They have a real organic feel to them, but the backgrounds look like they might be from photographs. Enjoy, I clicked on every single thumbnail. You should too. byroglyphics
