Livebrush 1.5

It's been 6 months since the last Livebrush update. But I'm happy to announce that Livebrush 1.5 was released last week.

In preparation for features to come, there has been a lot of work done under-the-hood. But on the surface, I finally added the much-requested canvas zoom feature - something I admit should have been there since the beginning. It was always there, it just didn't work across-the-board. But a few nudges in the right direction yielded great success!

Pro-users got a little extra with the addition of custom canvas sizes and the ability to omit the paper texture layer. But that, too, should have been there from the beginning.

That said, I can't thank the community enough for their continued support and feedback. And as always, don't hesitate to let me know what you think on Facebook, Twitter or on the Livebrush forums.

Coloring Outside The Lines - Creating Apps, Art, & Profit

App stores and emerging distribution platforms have ushered in countless practical and entertaining apps. While innovation is in abundance, expressive apps seem largely under-represented. This presentation is about creative tools: why there should be more, and what you can do about it. 

Two years ago, David created his first commercial app, Livebrush. Over half a million downloads later, he is still surprised at the response. But what’s next? And is there a market for similar tools? Topics will follow his journey from tinkering to profit and why creating toys can be more fun than playing with them.
