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
