Oh We Now Have An App: Paint LoafART App

History
The things we do just because we can. We now have an app, which to me is a big thing. Yet some 3 hours before it was published, it was not in any plans.
It was a spur of the moment thing. If you recall how loafart started, i.e. doodling with the Microsoft Paint program in between jobs. Well I was on a job, doing some background research into something that has been taking my time lately. One of the things got me looking at app building platforms. After trying out AppMakr or so, and got this nice shock at the tail end of building an app with them from scratch (all $499 of it if my memory serves me right), I remembered I had come across a platform that I recommended fro someone. I had forgotten the name but still remembered how they went about getting people to sign up with them. Google did the rest.
That is how I was re-introduced to AppGeyser, methinks and I built an app with them on the spot.

The App
Paint LoafART is a blog app. The content is derived from this blog. It is about Paint art, interviews and articles. I have registered it with about 3 platforms now. Two are pending i.e. Amazon and mandago (?) but Aptiote (I think I am mixing them up but I will have them corrected later) was immediate.
Amazon took my time! They asked for everything, including tax (like who does that?). But I felt I had achieved something when it was done -I should because it caused me a whole night of good sleep).

The Challenge
This blog needs content. The app needs to be marketed

The Call to Action
Help.
Download the app from this blog. You will see it at the top left corner of the first page.
Get it from its storefront on that platform I can't recall right now (I really need to get serious)
Get it from appgeyser
Share with friends

Other Matters
I think I have been commissioned to do Loafart for a poet. Keep you posted. Until the next post or making the corrections in this post Cheers

MAX5 & THE KOREDE INTERVIEW

MAX5

Your artwork is very nice…?

Yes it is… thanks

Most artists give their artwork a name…what is the name of yours?

If it was you that did the artwork, what kind of name would you have given it?

How old are you?

11

First thing, if it was me that did the artwork, I would have given it a name long ago. Secondly, I’m the one conducting the interview…so I ask the questions? So what would you like to call it?

Max 5

How can you call it Max5; is it a game?

No it is the best name I can give it.

Moving on, what medium did you use it do the artwork?

I used Microsoft Paint program

Why?

Because it is the best. People don’t like paint program.

Why do you say so?

Because I have not seen anybody using it.

I use it..have you seen any of my artwork?

NO!

You did not have to shout…

Anyways, would you be doing more artwork with the Paint Program?

YES.

Thanks for the interview.

Ok

About This Project

Took me forever. First, I completed "the project" donkey years ago. Loaded it up as a folder on my Gmail account and saved it on my system. That's when the movie twist started.

Corrupted File

My system 'caught' a virus and this infected the files. I thought I had already covered that area (since I had it stored on my Gmail account).

Didn't Work

I tried downloading it from the account and it did not turn out as I expected. Apparently, some of the files were already corrupted before loading it up and that's what Gmail returned back to me.

What Next?

I gave it a long break (like very long a break) and when I attempted to get the folder from Gmail, I was told that they no longer stored folders (I think that is what I was told). So I could not download it.

What Next II?

I started the art work again (and it was real work). It took me about 3 years or more (granted, I did not labor at it day and night everyday). I finally completed the first part, which was to get it frame done (you will have to see it to have an idea of the amount of time I had to put into this labor of loaf-art).
The second part was easier and that was turning each frame into a short movie. I broke it down to 3 distinct stages.

What Next III?

It was a call be Guardian Witness that made me complete the task. They were asking for artistic contributions for their "witness program" and I kind of figured they might be interested in it. They weren't (although I think they accepted, then rejected two other loaf-art artworks).
Having completed the project, I decided to post it here (I knew I was still going to post them here whether they accepted it or not).

WHAT AM I REALLY RATTLING ABOUT?

Let me post the first part here and we might get to talk about it and the others soon (that will be next year). And by the way; Happy New Year!!!

Format

Here's what I'm thinking of doing.

• Post a video

• Talk (write) about the video

• Post the frames that make up each video & talk about them since they are individual artworks, each building on the other(? Not too sure about this yet)

• Post the next video and repeat the above 

Everything above was done using the Paint Program
