Who is Stefan Baltov

Stefan Baltov is an artist from Bulgaria, he currently lives with his family in Gorna Oryahovitsa working on his latest pieces. He’s also my brother in law and a good friend.

Design

I wanted the design of the site to portray Stefans working area but in a chaotic fashion, using elements such as brushes, tools, papers and other items which might be laying around. I then used it as an interface, using things lying around as navigational elements. You’re never really taken away from this front page, small windows appear inside the page with the information you’re looking for – you can easily move out of it and look at something else on the site. Stefans art is earthy so I made sure the same feeling reflected in his portfolio.

Gallery

I wanted the gallery to feel clean and simple – so I opted for a tiled gallery with the ability to view close ups of the artworks in different details. Stefan is a master of texture and it was important to be able to show that in the gallery.

If you’re interested in Stefan’s art his contact details are on the site, I own a couple of his paintings and they’re surreal masterpieces and something to really admire.

What is DrawTweet?

DrawTweet is a small social drawing app that lets you tweet your drawings. It is designed to be used with ease and by any user, whether entry level or more experienced. It is not meant as a professional tool but encourages experimentation. Since its creation people have used it from making little doodles to practicing Japanese, some even for doing social comics.

DrawTweet gives you the basic tools you need for drawing, such as an intuitive colorpicker with hue/contrast, brush, eraser and sliders for softness, size and opacity. Once you have your creation ready you simply need to hit send and with the same twitter credentials it automagically uploads your drawing to twitter and tweets it with your custom message.

DrawTweet Version 1

DrawTweet version one was released on 16 September 2009 exclusively on the Bamboo Dock platform – the development was sponsored by Wacom and aimed at bringing extra social apps to the platform. DrawTweet is enjoyed by many Bamboo Tablet owners and have the ability to use tablet pressure sensitivity with DrawTweet. I built and designed DrawTweet during the span of 3 months and am quite happy with the results – however I anticipate that DrawTweet will go to a whole new level in Version 2

Where can I get DrawTweet?

Currently DrawTweet requires the Bamboo Dock and optionally a Bamboo Tablet, in version 2 you’ll be able to download only the .air file if you don’t choose to have it bundled with the Bamboo Dock and don’t need pressure sensitivity. Goto the DrawTweet website and click “Download Now!”
