Renowned British artist David Hockney has discovered creating art on the iPhone, and loves it very much indeed. The three images available for download at the BBC site are all great examples of Hockney’s newfound passion, with one of them being posted here.

The images are all sized at 320X480 for the iPhone, and of course they also work well as wallpapers as well. Feel free to surf over and take a look: http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/features/imagine/hockneydownload.shtml

The BBC’s post also offers some great background on how Hockney produced these images, how rapidly he is creating these images, and why he is enjoying the medium so much:

“David Hockney wakes up just before the dawn, takes his phone and from his bed starts to draw the cut flowers by his window, using the ‘Brushes’ app. With his thumb brushing the screen he works on the same scale you can see in front of you. It’s a medium he started using tentatively five months ago but in just the last seven weeks he’s made over 200 of these images. He likes the medium for its directness and speed, the ability to draw and paint at the same time, and the instant delivery.”
