Clive Thompson

Behold the gorgeous daily art produced by @csilverman

... which he draws using the Notes app on an iphone

its drawing toolset is awfully limited, but he pushes it to a dizzying limit

@clive @csilverman Wow! Amazing. Proves the rule that great work can be accomplished when you have to push within constraints.

@clive @csilverman thank you. Have you ever been to the Grotte de Niaux cave in SW France? It's the only cavepaint site I know of where you are actually allowed to see the real thing in person. I mention it here however because the acoustic components of the main chamber and foyer are extreme, and a major feature of the official tours.

@clive @csilverman wow, done on a phone? That's amazing. I could never get digital tools to 'work' for my drawing. These are always so atmospheric and sensitive.
