About ...

the original idea was for this website to just hold some palmtop software that i made a few years back. then i discovered that my palmtop could be put to much better use drawing pictures. ok, so i'm not a great artist but with a bit of practice i managed to come up with some kind of individual drawing style that sort of makes interesting pictures. it doesn't really matter too much whether anybody likes them or not - the important thing is that it is pretty fun to do and also creative and there cannot be too much wrong with that, can there?

anyway, eventually i came to ditch the software altogether because nobody cared (least of all me) and here we are. the site now contains a couple of hundred (and counting) palmtop pictures all drawn enirely on my old psion revo palmtop. it is nothing compared with the sort of palmtops you can buy now but it is pretty good for drawing pictures - big screen, comfortable design but most importantly the output is all blocky and messy and scratchy and nasty. these are pretty nice qualities if you are trying to do something vaguely original.

palmtops are really pretty good for this sort of thing and you can get some effects going on that are tough to do with something like a graphics tablet. i really do not know why there are not more websites devoted to palmtop drawing. i like not being able to draw straight lines and smooth curves or anything because it gives you a sort of freedom when you are not worrying about getting things perfect.

ok, so there is not much more to say. if you have a psion revo palmtop yourself then the old software is still here but otherwise i just hope you have seen something you liked and will maybe go off and try to make something yourself.
