Is iPhone art, mobile art, finger art (call it what you like) establishing itself as a genre in its own right?

That would seem to be the case with an increasing number of artists springing up all over the place using the Apple iPhone as their ‘electronic’ canvas.

Many of the pictures have been created with small, inexpensive apps such as Brushes and painted freehand on a 3.5-inch iPhone screen using just fingers and thumbs.

Inevitably, it didn’t take long before a large amount of highly innovative creative painters and paintings began to post their work in a Flickr Group.

One of the leading exponents of this type of art even had his artwork published on the front cover of The New Yorker Magazine.

Others, such as retired artist Susan Murtaugh, also has numerous examples of her work on-line including this particular gallery that includes a series of impressive tiger pictures.

One artist actually claims to have completed a piece of work while waiting to see his dentist and there’s even talk of some popular pictures being displayed in an art gallery.

See for yourself and let us know what you think.
