Magical Sketches

Going back to my Monday post where I mention casart coverings is using styleboards to show our designs in interactive interior layouts, this post is about the ultimate “storyboard.” There is advancing technology that takes your sketches and translates them into actual pictures comprised of photo composites taken from the Internet. The software was originally called PhotoSketch and then changed to Sketch2Photo to avoid conflict with another product’s similar name. The authors are Chinese students from Tsinghua University and the National University of Singapore. They are applying for a patent so as far as I can tell, this is not available yet but once it is, it could prove revolutionary for all types of artists to use for conceptual design layouts in their creative process and in business, to present their vision to their clients in a realistic way.

Filter’s Take a Picture seems appropriate with the above post and a good way to Kick-Start the weekend:

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
