An iPhone is an impressive piece of technology, sure to provide a surge of adrenalin from the moment you open the box. Also, it seems, are iPhone skins, protective covers that can be customized. Not only is it possible to choose from the creative output of hundreds of artists, alive and formerly alive, it is possible for customers to create their own designs using original artwork or photographs.
A new genre of artistic expression has evolved around the need to protect delicate modern technology from the scratches and other hazards of hectic modern life. Norman Rockwell (1894 - 1978), the late American illustrator and artist, who was known for his portrayals of daily life, finds six of his creative productions on phone skins.
Dutch graphic artist MC Escher (1898 - 1972) is another posthumous folk hero whose works live on in phone skins. Claude Monet (1840-1926), the founder of French impressionist painting, is represented, too, with 'Artist's Garden at Giverny' and 'Sunset in Venice' both adorning the mobile phones of discerning users.
The breathtakingly beautiful 'The Birth of Venus', by the Italian Renaissance painter Sandro Botticelli (1445-1510) has had a reprise in 21st Century popular art, appearing on skins. Vicent van Gogh (1853 - 1890), the pioneer of expressionism and post-impressionist master from Holland, posthumously contributes 'Cafe at Night' and the ever popular 'Starry Night'.
Mobile phone users are given the opportunity to express themselves through the work of living artists, too. Software developer and artist from Austin, Texas, Paul McGuire's high resolution, brilliantly colorful fractal distortions entitled, 'Change is Life' and 'Cauldron 1' have the opportunity to protect delicate technology from scratches and static. Self taught artist from San Francisco, Michael Page (b. 1979), gives us 'Enki's Gold' and 'Peace We Bring'.
These are just a small sample of the artworks available from this enjoyable new genre. There is not only an iPhone skin for every iPhone operator, you can find skins for each temperament of each user.
