We’ve been seeing some impressive handwriting since the launch of zoom. Love this playful illustration of paper made with Paper.

Gumballs: Little Treats to Chew On is a forthcoming picture book of poems largely focused on teaching kids – and reminding adults! – about some of life’s basic lessons, such as…
Why you should say “please” when asking for something. Knowing it’s ok to be “different.” Finding out where the Tooth Fairy gets her money. Why it’s sometimes better to listen than talk.
Gumballs illustrator Zac Rybacki says: “I primarily used Paper for the creation of the illustrations for the book. The application gives me just enough of what I need to get the creative ball rolling…”
Learn more about Gumballs and see how you can play a part in its success on Kickstarter.

#PAPERPROMPTS RESULTS The End
Inspired by the stuff of nightmares, our latest PAPER PROMPT was “The End.” Throughout history, people have used pictures to tell stories, so, to coincide with Halloween and Dia de los Muertos this week, we asked you to share the stories that scare you most.
Some creations took on a comical tone; others were chillingly realistic. There were many pumpkins. We’ve featured a few of our favorites here.
Learn more about Paper Prompts, and see all submissions with the hashtag #PAPERPROMPTS on Twitter and Tumblr!

#PAPERPROMPTS The End
“Come out, come out, wherever you are…”
This time of year always marks a shift. The mercury descends, daylight hours wane, and, signs of life, resigned to the inevitable, retreat and diminish.
Inspired by the somber notion of finality and the imminent arrival of El Dia de los Muertos and Halloween, this week’s PAPER PROMPT is The End.
Show us where The End leads for you, and be sure to include the tag #PAPERPROMPTS so we can search for your submission. We’ll feature some of our favorites next Wednesday on Halloween.
Did you miss our last prompt? Here’s what creators had to say For The Record.

#PAPERPROMPTS RESULTS For The Record
Throughout history, human beings have sought ways to remember and present information. Infographics, lists, maps, diagrams - even hieroglyphics - are just a few ways we’ve preserved knowledge.
Inspired by the visual representation of ideas, our latest PAPER PROMPT asked for your take on “For The Record.” One creator shared her family’s To Do list; another sketched the ingredients in curry chicken soup. One creator recorded his “Ideal Life.”
As always, featured here are only a few of our favorites. Learn more about Paper Prompts and see all submissions with the hashtag #PAPERPROMPTS on Twitter and Tumblr!

Nowhere To Go But Up
Earlier this year, 6ill9re9 expressed interest in leaving Paris to work in Singapore in this note:
“I have been in the media industry for 15 years now, but I am a creative director since 2007, when I did my first independent music video for a hip hop band…
If you have any connection in Singapore I would be happy that you share it with me. This note is like a bottle in the sea.”
We like to think most bottles make it to shore, eventually.
To view more of his work, follow 6ill9re9 on Tumblr.

PLAY WITH PAPER. NOW IN APPLE STORES.
Recently, we were invited to showcase Paper on the homescreen of iPad demo units in US Apple stores. To illustrate the range of ideas that found their start in our app, we asked a few of our favorite creators to share their journals, which you can now enjoy in stores across the country.
FEATURED JOURNALS

Cars by René LeeNext time you’re in an Apple store, open a journal in Paper and play with the possibilities. And if you start a sketch in store, take a screenshot or photo and send it to us at paper@fiftythree.com. We’ll be sure to feature a few on this blog.
Leaving a sketch is a little like sealing a note in a bottle and tossing it out to sea. You never know who might find it…
