Online Drawing Tool

flame | peter blaskovic | escape motions

Flame is a painting program, it belongs to my 'I am Artist' experimental project. I think with tools which inspires you, everyone can be an artist. You can try it here, change different brush settings and paint your own flame paintings. When you change background from black to white, palette changes from additive to subtractive and the feeling of the painting is very different. It's not easy to explain all brush parameters, so I leave this for your experimentation.

RateMyProfessors

Funny and enlightening article about the site.

The Medium - RateMyProfessors.com. - NYTimes.com

AT ANY RATE
RateMy Professors.com, which started in 1999, is a lovable relic of Web 1.0. With more than 10 million quirky, untrustworthy reviews, it’s going strong. Read it like a novel, watch it like MTV, study it like sociology. Just don’t base any real decisions on it.
