This lovely painting immortalizes, on canvas, the monumentous event that took place at D5, ( All Things Digital Conference). Walt Mossberg and Kara Swisher hosted the event and its highlight was when they brought together, onstage, at the same time, Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. The Internet was a-buzz at the thought of these two rivals together, and how this meeting would play out. Of course, as it turned out, everyone was ethralled by the way Jobs and Gates reminisced and joked together onstage. Personally I would have loved to have seen them have a big fist fight, but, that peaceful scene at D5 was pretty cool too. Now they seem to be the best of frenemies.
This moment has been encapsulized as art for some lucky bidder to enjoy forever. It shows Steve Jobs talking in his animated, hand-gesturing way, and Bill Gates listening with a slightly wistful, sentimental expression. Jobs is wearing his trademark black turtleneck and jeans, Gates looks comfortable in his crisp shirt and dress pants. It depicts a strangely heartwarming scene; it shows how two of the world's greatest geeks can stop for a moment in their extraordinary lives and put petty competitiveness aside and entertain some of us ordinary-everyday geeks for a while.
Snaggy and I did a comic about Jobs and Gates at D5 in this JoT, enjoy!
Details: "Jobs & Gates at D5" is Nitrozac's 27th painting of her Painting Blog. It's an acrylic painting, on 8 x 10 inch stretched canvas. The painting will be dried and ready to ship at the auction's end. The back of the painting will contain the title, the date painted, Nitrozac's signature, and a fingerprint for authenticity.
If the painting isn't sold at auction, it will be up for sale in our webstore at a higher than originally listed price, so it does pays to bid on the auction! Best of luck to all bidders!
Shipping is extra... to the US and Canada it is 8 dollars, to other locations, 15 dollars.

iCal, 8x10 inch acrylic painting *SOLD*
This painting was sold ($202.00), and is now in the collection of pvmuir! Click here to view the auction.
"iCal" is the 26th painting of my Painting Blog. iCal Day is July 17, that's the date that appears on iCal's application icon. When iCal is launched, its icon in the Dock automatically changes to display the current date. So July 17th is the only day of the year where iCal's icon doesn't have to update. That makes July 17 a special day to us Mac Geeks. (July 17, 2002 is the day Steve Jobs announced iCal, at MacWorld NYC.)
What better way to celebrate iCal Day than to do a painting of the iCal icon? Of course, the iCal icon looks absolutely beautiful as a painting, I must humbly admit. You can hang it on your wall and admire of it as work of art, a representation of the Mystery of Time, and a reminder of how quickly these wonderful days of ours pass. Of course it also functions as a calendar with an amazing once-a-year accuracy. :P
