Let's take a step back and watch nature unfold. The idea of Togather is to create a digital platform that enables us to share discoveries as gatherers, in search of unique mark-making tools. This dual-platform (app to act as portable journal, and web-based platform to discover/exchange digitized brushes) will breathe new life into dry and dead plants, releasing their artistic nectars for creators to pollinate into their world-building. Our context as artists no matter how digital our pursuits will always be bound to the physical universe and we can tap into this all-reaching and instinctual network of natural tools everywhere. An invigorating world of visual languages can unfold - and we need nothing more than the patience to kindle it while it happens, the willingness to surrender to, come togather, and share our tools.
