Canvas

An experimental touch-drawing instrument

Canvas grew out of a simple paint program I made for a friend’s kid. While watching it in use, I noticed unexpected effects emerging from multitouch gestures and a handful of simple drawing rules.

I started following those accidents on purpose. Canvas is the result: a drawing instrument built around surprising interactions between simple sets of rules.
