130: Best in Showroom | September 2010

Corliss Blakely, a life-long Vermont artist, is now painting on the iPhone and iPad, which has “opened up a new world for artists,” as she puts it. Corliss has translated her realistic style in oils to the new technologies, stating, “the world is changing and artists now have a wonderful new canvas to create on.” Corliss purchased an iPad at Small Dog the day they came out, and was the first artist in the world to display an iPad painting on the internet!

The iPad is a mobile studio: artists can now create without the toxic paints and mediums they have used for centuries.

Her favorite painting app on the iPad is ArtStudio.

Visit her site at www.ipadpaintings.com to see her paintings and demonstrations.

Hello Everyone,

It’s hard to believe summer is starting to wind down, and fall is just around the corner. We hope everyone gets to enjoy the upcoming Labor Day long weekend with friends & family, and hopefully some good food!

The local colleges are back in session, and for those who still need new computers, **we are running our Mac To School specials until the end of the month**–note that Apple’s back to school special expires September 7! Currently, with any Mac and AppleCare purchase, you will receive a free $50 or $100 gift card (to use immediately, or save it for later–it never expires). We’re here to help!

It’s an exciting time here between all of the new Apple products that have been released over the past couple of months (some of which are reviewed just below) and the opening of our new Manchester, NH store on the horizon. Be sure to drop in and check out all the great specials and new products.

We’re keeping busy over the next month–check out our upcoming “calendar of events”:http://blog.smalldog.com/article/super-fun-and-beneficial-upcoming-events-in-vt-and-nh/ here!

__Note: As of this writing, the Apple Music Event has just ended, so check out “our blog, Barkings!”:http://blog.smalldog.com for all of the new product announcements!__
