Well, someone thought about a device that allows me to look at digital photos on a keychain – 56 Photos to be exact!

The TAO 1.4″ Digital Picture Keychain (Square) is something I’ll order for myself, so I can put digital pictures of my artwork onto it and then show people, or look at it, whenever I want.  

Now, all it needs to do is play music or a podcast with the photos and we’d have the ultimate keychain device.  The weird thing about this .. it’s made by Tao Music, Inc (suggesting that the Digital Keychain ought to also play music). 

Here’s how the TAO Digital Picture Keychain (the worlds first digital keychain, by the way) came to be.

“Originally conceptualized by our founder’s young daughter, TAO is proud to be the industry first with the digital picture keychain. This year, TAO again raises the bar by introducing the 1.4-inch digital picture keychain, and by offering Macintosh support for past and current models. ”

Similar to an IPod, the battery of the Tao Digital Picture Keychain is rechargeable – with about 30 minute charge time and 2.5 hours of show time – that’s a lot of time for a Handy little device like this.

Here’s what the TAO Digital Keychain looks like when it’s showing an original Marshall Sponder Still Life, one I painted less than one week ago!

Say your an Artist..like me…you sit down and chat with someone, like I love to do, and talk about Art.  I just painted something I want you to see and you pull out your trusty TAO Digital Picture Keychain and things happen! 

Well, enough for plugging a digital picture keychain.  I will buy it, that’s why I’m recommending you buy it too….I would not bother to recommend anything I would not use myself.  

Enjoy the keychain and let me know when you get it (maybe I’ll send you a special photo to put on the Digital Picture Keychain - and feel free to use any of my paintings as one of the photos in your Tao Digital Picture Keychain.
