This is pretty interesting…Swedish company Softhouse Crossmedia Avenue has launched Painter, a mobile application that lets “mobile phone users get their own portrait in the style of one of the great masters”. The application converts a portrait-style photo taken with the camera phone into a painting in the style of Botticelli, Picasso, Rembrandt or other great painters. Of course, it’s not actually by the great artists so you won’t be able to sell them for hundreds of millions of dollars, but it’s still a fun application. Plus, it gets people using cameraphones, which can only be good news for the carriers…
