Best App Ever!!!

The image-drawings you can do are so much fun to make, and a great / unique way of capturing a moment.

Love you shrub

Shrub is great. The open-ended design framework and simple functionality of shrub gives it many potential uses. Ive used it as a photo diary for a day, a collage tool, and explored “algorithmic shrubbing” where i repeat steps (draw circle, pull camera 3 inches further from face, draw concentric circle, repeat) and have had interesting and unexpected results. Taking downtime from art and using shrub for fun in the meantime. One of the few apps that takes you outside of your phone to engage more with reality

Most fun, pleasantly simple

🌠 I'm having a blast. I've been using it for 2-3 years now. I use it for my personal blog to create spontaneous images. Keep it the way it is. It doesn't need to be anything more or less than it is right now.
