Update: The LA Times covered the ReGeneration Graffiti Contest today.
Facebook’s Graffiti application is wrapping up its “ReGeneration Contest,” sponsored by Dell, where online artists were invited to use the app’s painting tools to “explain what green means to you.”
The images produced by the 150 finalists (requires Facebook reg) are a testament to the depth of artistic talent out there in Internet land. Moreover, it’s a treat to use Graffiti’s “Replay” feature, where viewers can watch a recording of each work being created, stroke for stroke. More than a few artists have seized on the new technology to tell a kind of animated story–by, say, drawing buildings rising into the sky, and then, as they hit the zenith, slowly sprout into trees.
