We really like the rough and simple look of the conductive paint, as being used in the picture below.

As mentioned in an earlier blog post it reminds us of work by the artist Franz Kline. We are thinking to create a similar canvas for our etch a sketch to move away form the old visuals to a more modern and artistic one. We could create squares in which we can project the drawing of the digital etch a sketch and at the same time make the controllers, which we’ll be paining with electronic pain and that work like potentiometers, match the visual.

using a style like this also allows us to project several images at once. We can either have multiple etch a sketches working at once or show previously drawn ones in empty squares. As shown in the example below. If we go for several etch a sketches then we can have different styles for our brush. One that that might stick to the typical etch a sketch visuals and then others that are more abstract.
