One of my favourite recent youtube findings is Cat Graffam, who uses all sorts of "wrong" tools to do fine art. Every one of these videos is a combination of esoterica, hilarity, software design misery, and art theory. Good to put on in the background while you spend 20 minutes making fancy coffee, for instance. A few favs: •

Da Vinci's Lady with an Ermine in the iPhone Notes app

(a real nail-biter for anyone who has ever made a drawing canvas app, especially if you consider that Notes is backed by a CRDT) •

Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Son" in Mario Paint

Caravaggio's "Judith Beheading Holofornes" in Kid Pix

Hopper's "Nighthawks" with a weird Nintendo Wii drawing tablet

(the save-load UI is baffling) (This might be less FoC-relevant for folks who aren't working on programmable drawing canvases, but… (A) there are dozens of us!, and (B) it's good software craft catharsis)
