N900 #OpenMobile art – and the big reveal is…

Following this little teaser from WomWorld/Nokia, I guess it’s our turn to put the cards on the table. In the embedded youtube video down below you can watch  Andrew Park from Cognitive Media using Nokia N900 default ‘Sketch’ application. But who exactly was he drawing there, you ask? Maybe it’s just some random Spanish matador, or maybe someone you might actually know ( nope, that’s not me!).

I think Andrew has done an outstanding work making these  humorous yet to-the-point illustrations of  all the topics that were discussed during the Open Mobile Summit I had such pleasure to attend recently. But  my biggest surprise was when Andrew told me he didn’t have any background knowledge on the mobile industry, so all his drawing were produced on the fly while listening to the summit sessions. Those drawings (I believe there were 6 pages in total) will be later scanned and sent to all attendees to remind them about at the event. Images have the power to tell the same story in more engaging, talkative ways than just plain words, don’t you agree?

And here’s Andrew Park himself with the complete sketch on the N900.

P.S. Now to play my part as devil’s advocate, I think there is something else we could’ve asked Andrew to draw for us. Something I believe just reeks with sheer awesomeness. Penguins, Maemo penguins that shoot frikin’ laser beams out of their eyes win in my book any day 😉
