If you're into digital art, Adobe Fresco is your friend



Adobe Fresco is now available on the iPad and it's free... sort of. Android and Windows users will have to wait a little bit longer.

Creative Cloud subscribers can use the painting and illustration app for no additional cost while others can download a free version that has limited access to certain things like brushes, exporting and future updates. A standalone version of Fresco is also available for purchase at $9.99 a month, which comes with six months for free if you sign up by December 31st.


Kyle Webster, who works as senior design evangelist at Adobe, shares his thoughts on the app:

"I know that professional artists will find a lot to love in Fresco. But I'm just as eager to have kids and people who have never thought of themselves as artists try it. Fresco on iPad lets you experiment with materials that most novices would never have access to. You can try out different kinds of media and different techniques and if things don't turn out the way you expected, you can just undo and try something else. It's the kind of flexible and forgiving environment that I hope will lead lots more people to discover the joys of painting and drawing."

This installation puts painting robots to shame

In the courtyard of London's Victoria & Albert Museum stands the Elytra Filament Pavilion , a massive glass and carbon fiber canopy fabricated by robots. It is inspired by the fibrous structures of flying beetles and will be open until November in the John Madejski Garden. The futuristic shelter is the brainchild of experimental architect Achim Menges, along with collaborators Moritz Dörstelmann, Jan Knippers and Thomas Auer. While the structure currently measures 200 square meters in size, it will gradually grow bigger overtime, depending on how visitors interact with it.

Anthill Art

Turns out you can make something pretty cool when you pour boiling, liquid metal on top of an anthill. Harsh for the ants, yes, but according to Anthill Art , these insects are "harmful to the environment and their nests are exterminated by the millions in the United States using poisons, gasoline and fire, boiling water, and very rarely molten aluminum."

This pizza box transforms into a weed pipe

If you're using pot on a regular basis, then you probably already know that pizza is one of the best foods to eat when you're stoned. Weed and pizza go hand in hand, that's why the creators of the Push For Pizza app launched a clever box to combine these two together.  It's pretty simple. The box has a small detachable cardboard flap, which users can then easily roll into a pipe. There's also a stand in the center of the box, which doubles as the bowl. Currently, there are no plans for mass production, but that could change based on how well the design is received by the public. Isn't it time we start to get some of this stuff in the Philippines?
