An iPad piece drawn by artist Luis Peso during the first MobileArtCon in New York City.
The conference was hosted by the IAMDA (International Association of Mobile Digital Artists) and took place over a weekend in October. It was an opportunity for developers, artists, and iPhone and iPad enthusiasts to get together and discuss a burgeoning art form. This is a collection of some of the impressive pieces these artists have created on their iPads and iPhones.

Artist David Kassan does an iPad portrait demonstration at the conference. “Drawing in this medium is exactly how I’d draw in a more physical medium,” said Kassan during his tutorial. “But I can also bring this on an airplane and I listen to music on it.” He also likes how the iPad’s backlit screen makes nighttime sketches possible.
