Thats actually pretty cool. I got something back that looked like my drawing. I drew a bad monitor and got a stair well. Awesome. ;)

Great idea though.

ditto

two minor problems from my perspective tho:
1/ i can't draw for squat
2/ kinda chunky tools for such a small square

but a few fiddlings and i tripped over this guy's stuff, so VERY well worth it:

but i tell you what: this is going to be BLOODY useful for commercial artists/graphic designers.

try this: just pick a colour and paint the square. or create a pseudo gradient. observe.

Totally weird. Not being a commercial graphic designer/artist, I'm not rally sure how useful this would be, but it's certainly interesting.

I found this which is pretty quirky.
