STORYBRUSH was founded by a group of artists and Internet enthusiasts living in Seattle and Shanghai. Our first experiences with the STORYBRUSH painters came out of a personal need to fulfill ideas--namely, immortalizing digital photographs as oil paintings--for which we lacked the skill or time. The process of collaboration was so successful and exciting that we decided everyone should have the opportunity to experience it. We want to help you tell your story in paint because we believe paint as a medium offers so much more than our new digital technologies. That's not to say that we don't value digital technologies--On the contrary, we believe that by combining the old and the new, the beginning of a beautiful friendship gives way to new and rich experiences.
