Camera Phones Plaza

To personalize our gadgets we use to add cool backgrounds on computers' desktops, or change the cell phone interface’s theme entirely. Many cell phone content providers offer nice cell phone backgrounds, wallpapers or themes, for download directly on the handset, but now we have the chance to browse through unique images created by independent designers.
This happens via mixtART, a new SMS service launched by Hands-On Mobile, one of the top developers of games and applications for the cell phones.
Using this service, artists can sell their creations to mobile subscribers.



“More and more independent artists are discovering the benefits of digital media to promote their art to the public, and mobile delivery is the perfect opportunity for them to share their work with a vast, diverse audience,” said Michael Temkin, Chief Technology Officer of Hands-On Mobile. “The artists we are currently working with have exemplary portfolios, and we are looking forward to offering additional creative wallpapers to mobile customers on a monthly basis.”



Artists who will provide cell phone backgrounds through mixtART will be present at Comic-Con International 2008 in San Diego from July 24 to July 27. Some of them are: Patrick Ma, Buff Monster, Jon Burgerman, Brent McHugh, Patricio Oliver, Alex Pardee, Ekundayo and Dave Correia, Noferin and Astro.
Comic-Con International is a nonprofit educational organization that promotes comics and similar forms of art, via the official conventions dedicated to the contribution of comics in art and culture.



Californian company Hands-On Mobile is known for its Guitar Hero III Mobile and WPT Texas Hold 'Em games, as well as the popular Astrology Zone Premier and Billboard Mobile applications. The company partners with entertainment brands such as Activision, Billboard, CBS, LEGO, Marvel, NBA, NBC Universal, Viacom, and World Poker Tour.

The price for an artistic wallpaper is of $1.99.
