Unique, Must-Have Art App – * FABRIKA * Review

Out of all the apps I’ve used so far, I’d have to say WURM is my favorite. The interface itself is a work of art. I feel I can create the most distinctive style with it, without having it look like it was made with an obvious digital process. I find myself coming back to WURM time after time to create more art. The color pallette has 12 options, mostly in warm and neutral tones, which is a nice change from the usual RGB palettes. I think of WURM less as a generative art app, and more as an airbrush/painting/drawing app with really unusual pen nibs or brush tips. It is the motion and shape of these customizable brush tips that give WURM its uniqueness. A set of five tips comes with the program, and you can do an in-app purchase of five more. I would actually buy several more sets if they had that option. I do wish the additional program that enables one to enlarge their WURM files to a higher dpi was available for those running Mac OS 10.5 as it says online. Apple really needs to change that wording in the iTunes store because you actually need Mac OS 10.6 in order to purchase it through the Mac App store, but that's my only disappointment. If you are an artist, this is a must-have app.
