Virtual summer traveling and art
The Virtual Paintout blog is a network of artists who virtually visit predetermined cities all over the world each month and paint or draw from city views that appear on Google’s Street View. Then they post their work on the blog. Google has given its OK for the artists to use screen shots of the views and sell their work if Google is credited in the labels for descriptions.
