Perhaps the highest thing on my "can't" list (right behind "flying") is drawing. I'm not a horrible "designer" inside a graphics application, but getting my hands to translate a visualized form in my brain into something on paper is not something I can do even in the slightest. The people in this Pocket Artist gallery, however, have used their Pocket PCs to create some truly excellent work! Here's one of my favourites:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/fire-by-thomastwohy.jpg" /><br /><br />The image above is entitled "Fire" by an artist named Thomas Twohy. There's also some excellent work in the gallery by Whilce Portacio - I thought his name sounded familiar, and once I <a href="http://www.google.com">Googled</a> him, I discovered that he's <a href="http://www.lambiek.net/portacio_whilce.htm">drawn some of the comic books</a> I've read in my youth. The reach of the Pocket PC is far and wide indeed!<br /><br />Feel like taking your artistic flair for a spin? Download a <a href="http://www.conduits.com/products/artist/download.htm">trial version of Pocket Artist</a> and give it a go. Another excellent application is <a href="http://www.idruna.com/products_pocketpc.html">Photogenics</a> - I've found it works particularly well for special effects with digital photos.
