<a name="1001804"> </a>The Image Hose is a milestone in the evolution of art tools. Instead of painting with color, the Image Hose paints with images-and not just one or two images at a stroke, but a <span style="color: #000000; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; text-transform: none; vertical-align: baseline">variety of changing images</span>.

<a name="998928"> </a>The images flowing from the hose change as you make a brush stroke. The Image Hose gives you complete control of the image output. For example, by increasing stylus pressure, you can paint larger or more colorful images. Or, by changing the direction of the stroke, you can change the angle of the images. This is just a sample of the possible controls. By creating your own sets of images, anything is possible.

<a name="1008703"> </a>You can load the Image Hose with leaves, bark, grass, stones, people-images of any description. When you paint with these image elements, you can build them into coherent shapes-a tree, a hill, a cobblestone street, a crowd of people.
