We are proud and excited to announce our support for the world’s first digital fine art competition: The Lumen Prize.

There have been a veritable plethora of styluses flooding the market since the iPad’s release in 2010. Some target writers, some focus on navigation, and others—like the Nomad Brush—seek to help you create works of art through painting and drawing. There are many styluses in this category as well, but the Nomad Brush eschews the typical aluminum-and-rubber-nib trappings of most pens on the market for a more traditional look and feel: The company’s original Nomad Brush, from almost every angle, resembles a traditional watercolor paintbrush.

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.

I recently tested the Nomad Brush, a handcrafted paintbrush stylus for touchscreens, which comes in three styles: the original (long tip), the short tip, and the Nomad Mini — the newest model that is designed primarily for smaller devices such as the iPhone or iPod touch.

 An alternative approach comes from Nomad, with its $24 Brush. Looking just like a paintbrush with a wooden handle, the Nomad Brush is designed for artists working with tablet devices. Its conductive strands give it the feel of a traditional bristle brush — which means you'll need to remember that the paint on-screen is down to the brush settings of your application, not the Nomad. That can be a little confusing, but it's something you get used to very quickly. The Nomad Brush is targeted at a very specific market, but it was still our favourite of the styluses we tested: it's comfortable, innovative and very easy to use. Three versions are available: a mini brush, and long- and short-tip full-size brushes.
