Peter Wilkin Joins TheAppWhisperer as New Co-Editor for ‘Draw the Line – Mobile Art as an Expression’ Group
We are delighted to announce today, talented mobile photographer and artist, Peter Wilkin is joining us as a Co-Editor for our Column entitled ‘Draw the Line – Mobile Art as an Expression’ with Carol Wiebe. We have been impressed with Wilkin’s art for some time, so much so that he is a featured artist in our online gallery, see here.
Wilkin explains what this group is all about; “This group is about mobile photos with the added touch of applied line. Lines can be a major or a minor element, placing drawn components into the image that help to illustrate or emphasise the meaning that you, as the artist, want to express
Line work can be applied by literally drawing lines on your image, adding patterns or making marks. Additionally, your lines could be stitched or glued onto your image using thread or string“.
We have a Facebook group dedicated to ‘Draw the Line’ and like our other Facebook groups, this will provide a platform for discussion on the techniques, aesthetics and goals that all mobile photographers bring to this art form. Please join this group.
We have also set up a special Flickr Group for ‘Draw the Line’ where we would like you to submit your images to for curation in showcases. In addition, we have a hashtag for Instagram for this group too, entitled #tawdrawtheline – please use that when taggin images on Instagram. Please join this group too.
TheAppWhisperer is growing at a phenomenal rate and trying to include as much unique content and variety from the mobile photography and art wold as our readers can possibly digest, you really don’t need to go anywhere else!
Please join us in welcoming Peter Wilkin to TheAppWhisperer family, Welcome Peter!
