Superstar Pixtonator rocks out with American Idol Contestant, Lacey Brown

Americanidol

Two hundred adoring fans had the unique privilege of watching the "down to earth and cool" American Idol Season 9 Contestant, Lacey Brown, perform in a small and intimate venue along side aspiring teenage musician, artist and fellow Pixtonator, Zac Walthall (a.k.a. Komikos).

The Camden Fariview Middle School Auditorium in Arkansas was a perfect acoustic backdrop to perform classic hits such as "Kiss Me," "What a Wonderful World," "The More I Seek You," "Over the Rainbow," and "The Story".

It was one incredibly special night for a lucky group of people since no recording was allowed. The future is bright, way to go Zac!

Suzanne_ginsburg

Want to design a killer awesome iPhone app?

Hot off the press is Suzanne Ginsburg's latest book, "Designing the iPhone User Experience: A User-Centered Approach to Sketching and Prototyping iPhone Apps". It will help you master the key concepts that you need to set your app apart from the crowd - a must-have book. Since its release this month, Ginsburg's book has received 5-star rave reviews and is a chart-topper in Amazon's bookstore!

Pixton is honoured to be included her book! What is the Pixton comic about, you ask? We won't give away that little secret, buy the book to find out! :)

Ginsburg's insights can also be applied to other devices beyond the iPhone, including the Android, iPad, and web apps - sounds too good to be true. Can't wait for our copy, should arrive any day now!

PCMag.com names Pixton "Top 100 Websites of 2010"

Pcmag_comic

Hurray! Pixton has been named as one of the "Top 100 Websites of 2010" by PCMag.com - it's a BIG award for the hottest websites and web trends of the year - what an honour!

Find us in the 'Undiscovered Fun' category... and if you haven't yet discovered the zions of fun you can have at Pixton, join us today and find out!

We made this fun comic-tribute for the PCMag.com judges who apparently really like their caffeine.

 

Educational Comic Books Created by Students for Students!

Help us with this comic-creative STEM initiative!

Pixton has teamed up with Robert Miller, a teacher of the 5th grade at Port Orange Elementary in Port Orange, FL, to win a 50K Pepsi Refresh grant for education. Robert was selected last year as an Apple Distinguished Educator and was recognized as one of "20 to Watch, 2009" by the National School Board Association. 

This grant will go towards an exciting and innovative idea - to create a student-run comic book publishing company to teach science with Pixton.

We'd appreciate your support with a vote (or thirty) and believe that this idea could really catch on around the world - educational comic books created by students for students!
