MixtART Group Show
I was very happy to attend a group show with several pieces by Jon on Saturday, September 20th 2008 at San Francisco’s Giant Robot. They hosted an art exhibition spanning the genres of illustration, character design, street art, tattoo art, urban vinyl and indie comics sponsored by Hands-On Mobile. Some of the artists who showed work as part of the new mixtART service included: Jon, Alex Pardee, Buff Monster, Patrick Ma, Patricio Oliver, Ekundayo, Dave Correia, Brent McHugh, Astro and Noferin. For $1.99 you can download their art to your cell phone.
In addition to his MixtART Mobile Phone Wallpaper, Jon had many new reclaimed cardboard pieces in the show, and he also did the artwork for the flier.

Hands-On Mobile, a “leading global publisher of mobile lifestyle, games and personalization products” has turned its attention to the arts. Their new service, mixtART, gives consumers the ability to purchase exclusive cell phone art via SMS. In addition to a piece by Jon, users can also download mixtART by Alex Pardee, Buff Monster, Patrick Ma and Noferin for $1.99 each. Now you can not only outfit the exterior of your iPhone by Jon, but you can pimp out the insides too. I tried to set this up on my several years-old Samsung phone and if you can text, but not link to the Internet, it won’t work, unfortunately. Best to maybe try these Dada Mobile Phone Wallpapers.
Said Michael Temkin, CTO at Hands-On Mobile:
More and more independent artists are discovering the benefits of digital media to promote their art to the public, and mobile delivery is the perfect opportunity for them to share their work with a vast, diverse audience. The artists we are working with have exemplary portfolios and we are looking forward to offering additional creative wallpapers to mobile customers on a monthly basis.
