Portrait Appsperiment #5 “Nicole”

Daily App Experiment #272 "Nicole"

I talked a bit in yesterday’s post about the Photoribbon app for iPhone. Today I decided to play around with their auto-painting feature, which is actually pretty fun. I took an image of my friend (and OS guest-blogger) Nicole and let it sit in Photoribbons for a while as the app continuously re-drew the image. I saved some of these images and sometimes tweaked the apps settings for different effects, then used Interlacer to layer these different images together into a Chuck-Close-ish portrait.

Here is one of the individual images I saved from Photoribbon. You can see how it sort of doodles an impressionistic image.

About DocPop

It all started with games.. During his daily ride on SF BART, Doctor Popular would constantly drain his new iPhone's battery playing Field Runners, but this app obsession soon spread from games to music. Using apps like Nanoloop and Thumbjam, Doc created an an entire album with his iPhone. He was also one of the first street musicians to perform with an iPad. Now Doc spends most of his spare time creating photography and visual art with his iPhone. Currently he is working on The Daily App Experiment, a year long collection of experimental art, and a book collecting his "appsperiments".
