ArtRage 2: Turn Your Mac Into A Canvas
Posted by Will Holmes on 02/15/07 in Applications, Fun & Unique, Home & Personal
There are tons of options when it comes to graphic arts on the Mac. From Photoshop to Preview, there are countless apps, some more advanced, some easier to use, and some just plain weird. However, for all the options availiable, they’re all pretty much the same. Some have vector capabilities, but most are just a grid of pixels with an array of tools to manipulate them with.
ArtRage 2 is different. Instead of trying to be precise and grid-like, it emulates a canvas, and does pretty well at it too. The tools and interface are a bit strange, they pop in and out as necessary from the edges, but they are pretty functional nonetheless. Choose between a collection of artistic tools: a paintbrush, a crayon, a marker, or even spray paint.

I tried out the tools myself, and my favorite was a tube of paint and the spatula smeary tool. I squirted out a little paint of the color I desired, and then smeared it around until I got what I thought looked alright. So here you go, my masterpiece.

ArtRage 2 comes in two flavors, the full featured $19.95 “ArtRage 2 Full Edition”, or the “ArtRage 2 Free Edition” with some features left out. You can see all the differences between them here.
