Method and an apparatus for electronically creating art

A method comprising:

• coupling a plurality of bristles, each bristle comprising a plurality of fibers and configured to emit signals as a result of straining the fibers;
• emitting at least one signal from at least one bristle that is bent against a tablet;
• and
• applying electronic paint to a surface of the tablet.

An article comprising:

• a storage medium including instructions stored thereon which when executed cause a computer system to perform a method including:
• determining a type of virtual paint on a brush, the brush comprising a plurality of bristles wherein each bristle comprises a plurality of fibers and wherein straining the fibers of a bristle causes a signal to be emitted;
• and
• applying virtual paint to a tablet when the brush is stroked against the tablet.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor coupled to a memory, a brush, a palette of electronic paint, and a tablet;
• a brush having a plurality of bristles coupled to the processor, each bristle comprising a plurality of fibers and configured to emit signals as a result of straining the fibers;
• a palette of electronic paint coupled to the processor;
• a tablet coupled to the processor;
• an interconnect coupled to the processor and the brush that allows signals to be transmitted between the processor and the brush;
• and
• an interconnect coupled to the processor and the memory to allow data to be transported between the memory and the processor.
