Nomad Brush Introduces the First Paintbrush Stylus Designed Just for Kids

Nomad Play Makes Creating Digital Art Creations on the iPad, iPhone, and other Touchscreen Devices Easy, Fun, and Mess-Free for Kids 

PORTLAND, Ore. – Nov. 21, 2011 – Today’s tech-savvy and on-the-go families are always on the lookout for tools that encourage creativity, learning, and self-expression. Today, Nomad Brush introduces the latest product in its series of critically acclaimed products: The Nomad Play™, the first paintbrush stylus designed and scaled just for kids.

Not Your Parents’ Stylus 

The Nomad Play™ is handcrafted from maple, with a soft, rubber ferrule that won’t scratch the screen, and a contoured grip for little hands for easy art creation. It comes in four unique designs and colors engraved with playful graphics inspired by — and for — kids ages 3 to 8 who love to create: Astro (blue), Serengeti (yellow), Fireball (red), and Ivy (green). The Nomad Play™ is available today for $18 at www.nomadbrush.com.

“Our family loves art and creating art together,” said Don Lee, founder and CEO of Nomad Brush. “When I received a first generation iPad for Father’s Day, I found it to be a great digital sketchbook, and the idea for Nomad Brush was born. We were amazed to discover how quickly our two young sons connected to the experience of digital art creation; since then, we’ve witnessed kids from across the country embrace their parents’ Nomad Brushes.

We are thrilled to introduce Nomad Play™ just in time for the holiday season— and to help make art, and the power of self-expression, even more accessible to a younger generation of artists.”

For the Next Matisse Without the Mess and the Next Picasso On-The-Go

The Nomad Play also brings other benefits to budding artists and their parents: eco-friendly art and mess-less art creation: no spilled paint, no wasted paper, and no messy hands to clean up afterwards.

The Nomad Play collection has been pre-tested by a panel of young artists and their parents — "The Play Patrol" — who share their passion for the product:

·       "I am an artist that makes dinosaurs!" - Beau, age 3 (Portland, Ore.)

·       "I like how easy it is to control the brush and that you can go do art in different places with it. I want one in every color!" - Piper, age 8 (Pasadena, Calif.)

·       "Our kids love the feel and weight of the Nomad Play, and the way it glides on the screen when they paint. And I love that there’s no mess to worry about, and no clean-up afterwards!” - Arpie, mom of Keira, age 7, and Calvin, age 3 (Chicago)

The Nomad Play works on the iPad, iPhone, Android and all capacitive touchscreen devices, with any digital art app, including these free apps for kids: Kids Doodle, Kids Paint HD, iDoodle 2 Lite, Doodle Buddy, Crayon Kids Painting, Coloring for Kids and more. Nomad Play offers a distinctly unique set of designs and features:

·       Handcrafted maple brush, customized to fit the growing grip of kids ages 3 to 8

·       Soft, durable bristles, with a ferrule that won’t scratch the screen

·       Old-world craftsmanship married with modern technology

·       Eco-friendly and mess-less: no spilled paint, wasted paper or messy hands

Available today for $39.00 at www.nomadbrush.com, the Nomad Compose lets professional artists and novices alike create their stylus and create their art.

 Nomad Brush tapped its active artist community to gather feedback on the tools that artists need to create great digital art. Directly out of the community’s responses came Nomad Compose. The unique design of the Glide Bevel Tip and either short or long brush tip ensures artists can quickly access the preferred tip for any stroke on any touchpad.

 Nomad Brush has received early critical acclaim for its quality craftsmanship and superior responsiveness on a variety of digital screens:  

·       "The Nomad Brush is an ideal input device for all tablet computing. The Nomad Brush provides a subtle feedback that is more graceful than a finger and far more gentle and tactile than a traditional stylus.” – James M.

·       "The Nomad Brushes are by far the most amazing styli for my iPad. I don't know what the magic is about those bristles but they work amazingly well."  -- Deborah O.

·       Old world craftsmanship married with modern technology;

·       Hand crafted with all precision-milled aluminum construction;

·       Well balanced design, for comfortable digital art execution;

·       Soft rubber ferrule designed to never scratch the screen.

 “Resounding input from the digital art community helped us create a tool that gives artists the flexibility to swap out their tips or even have two distinct stylus tips in their hands at all times,” said Don Lee, Nomad Brush inventor and CEO. “We know that every artist’s styles and tools are different, which is why we created the one stylus that can be customized for artists to paint anywhere at any time.”

Back to School with the iPad Brings Great New Accessories for Students

Nomad Brush is the First Paintbrush Stylus for iPad and iPhone, Giving Art Students and
Young Doodlers a Perfectly Natural Digital Canvas

PORTLAND, OR – July 28, 2011 – The new school year is around the corner and a significant trend for this year’s back-to-school season is the number of iPads and smartphones in students’ hands. Nomad Brush, the first paintbrush stylus for iPads and iPhones, is combining the prevalence and rich app experience of tablets with the passion and creativity of art. Anyone from graduate art students to first grade doodlers have everything they need in their backpacks for spectacular creations on devices they use everyday.

The Consumer Electronics Association predicts tablet sales will grow 157 percent in 2011, with more than 26.5 million units shipped, and education is one of the fastest growing segments for adoption. According to industry analysts, the iPad will be in classrooms across the country, from Seton Hall University providing one to each incoming freshman, to 50 schools in Chicago rolling out 4,500 iPads this year. Youngsters in Nebraska, Ohio, West Virginia, South Carolina and Arizona are slated to use the iPad2 to learn their ABCs and create art.[1]

Nomad Brush paintbrush styli combine traditional brush-making techniques with modern materials to turn any capacitive touchscreen device into a digital canvas. Available in short or long tips and a mini version for painting on smaller screens, the Nomad Brush is beautifully handcrafted with a professional brush feel, wood handle and rubber ferrule designed to never scratch the screen.

“Tablets can be powerful yet fun educational tools with a great number of apps for students and artists to create,” said Don Lee, Nomad Brush inventor and CEO. “Nomad Brush is the first paintbrush stylus designed for the modern day artist or doodler. We’re excited to see the old world craft of art embrace the digital era and make art more accessible for everyone.”

Nomad Brush retails for $19 to $24 at www.nomadbrush.com. To learn more about how artists and art departments are incorporating Nomad Brush into their programs, view videos and testimonials, please visit www.nomadbrush.com.

Featuring a shorter handle (4.5”) and brush (.3”), and stiffer bristles than the original Nomad Brush, the Nomad Mini is designed for smaller digital touchscreens. The Nomad Mini bristles are made from exceptionally conductive materials blended with natural fibers for the highest quality art (and doodle) creations. The walnut and carbon handle with soft, rubber ferrule cap is comfortable to hold and designed to never scratch the screen. The Nomad Mini allows for easy navigation and a natural way to create art on any capacitive touch screen device, such as the latest touchscreen phones from Google, Motorola, LG, HTC, Samsung, and others.

“The Nomad Mini was inspired by my wife, Anna, who wanted a compact brush that would allow her to paint anytime on the device she carries everyday,” said Don Lee, Nomad Brush inventor and chief executive officer. “We designed the Nomad Brush to be natural, comfortable and elegant, enabling both artists and doodlers alike to create stunning digital art productions on the smaller screen.”

Nomad Brush brings the natural texture and precision of using a paintbrush to any iPhone and iPad drawing app that supports finger or stylist creations. The company offers a list of recommended drawing apps here.
