Paper by @FiftyThree; 2012 iPad App of the Year (and some gloating)

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve gone gaga for Paper by FiftyThree, the iPad app that Apple named 2012 iPad app of the year (for very good reason).

Well, I was doubly-gaga today when I saw that my depiction of Santa and his reindeer flying silently past the moon was featured on the company’s “All I Want for Christmas” post. (Screencapped below, but be sure to visit this link to see ALL of the creative artwork showcased.)

This comes after discovering that three of my drawings (including the one above) were included in FiftyThree’s Facebook cover photo for the holidays. It too is included below so I can point out which images are featured. But definitely check out their Facebook page and like them… because these guys are geniuses.

About the author

I’m Tommy, a writer and storyteller who works in marketing for the arts and cultural communities. I’m the author of Mabel Stanley and the Town That Was Built All Wrong, a fun and heartfelt book, and I’m currently working on a novel about self-discovery and the complexities of memory. Writing is a big part of my life, but I also enjoy creating experiences that bring people together, which is why my husband, Matt, and I co-run the online store Have Fun Spread Joy. It’s all about embracing the playful side of life and giving back along the way. I’m married to Matt, and we share our home with our two pets, Zoey (the cat) and Dixie (the dog). When I’m not writing, working on our store, or doing marketing for the arts, I like to dive into theater, something I want to get more involved with over time. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while it comes with its own set of challenges, it also gives me a unique perspective that I try to channel into everything I do. Whether it’s writing, working on creative projects, or finding ways to spread joy, I’m all about making a lasting impact in whatever I do.
