{ StART MOBILE }

The thing about this current movement towards accessibility in art (call it Platform Art, Pervasive Art, Lowbrow, No-brow, whatever....) is that there's lots of folks involved, and lots of work to consider, all crossing over from the traditional formats of painting and design/illustration into just about every area of our daily lives. So it's out there, yeah, but is it good? Is it making things better? Is it done right? I can safely say that StART MOBILE have got all the bases covered, and one look at their hugely ambitious gallery page will clue you in that they've left no stone unturned in their quest to brighten up that most necessary of evils, the cellular telephone. Offering thousands of background wallpapers from hundreds of artists, StART MOBILE are giving you the chance to pimp your phone with some wicked custom material, at a mere buck-ninety-nine a pop. The list of participants is ginormous, and includes CrownDozen faves Hambot (pictured here), Braveland, Mars-1, Tara McPherson, Yumiko Kayukawa, Aesthetic Apparatus, Meomi, Fawn Gehweiler, kozyndan, Friends With You, and Regular Product, and that's just scratching the tip of the iceberg! You can also find pieces from luminaries Sheperd Fairey, Tim Biskup and David Choe; there really is something (or several things) here for damn near everybody. Click through the link below to see what I'm on about, and while you're soaking in the massive scope and range of material covered, take a moment to notice that each artist is propped with a mini-Bio and links to their respective websites. Big-ups to StART MOBILE for making sure everybody gets their due!
