An Afternoon with Paul Kercal

"Our first collaboration over Sketchshare"

A few weeks ago I had the chance to draw with Paul Kercal, another iPad artist who is based in the UK while I happen to be in the States. Paul was wonderful enough to show me Sketchshare, a great new app that allows up to 4 people to sketch and draw together online while chatting in voice on their iPads.

"Our 2nd piece made me really hungry for Mexican Food"

The two of us spent what was afternoon for me and late night for him, sketching and talking about all kinds of subjects from iPad art to education. You see not only is Paul a fellow mobile artist, but he is also a teacher at Guildford College.

He has been working with youth groups and the school systems in England to provide more students access to iPads in the visual arts and in arts education.

It is his involvement in these projects that brought him to my attention and I have been a follower of his work since. But I have included a great video where Paul can best explain his work in his own words.


You can follow more of Paul's work by visiting his blog at http://kercal.wibsite.com and on Twitter at @kercal. He is such a brilliant and friendly man and I am grateful to have met him. I look forward to more Sketchshare sessions in the future from over the pond and I wish him the best of success in helping Tomorrow's youth Today.
