4:50 CHOMP demo by Illustrator Christoph Niemann.  This is Niemann’s second app, and it cleverly incorporates live video into animated drawings.  We’ll ask him to share his thoughts about illustration on an interactive screen.

All speakers and members of the Masterclass are invited. Bring a tablet with apps to informally share.
