# Umbrella Paintbrushes Rain Brush Umbrella by Liu Hsiang-Ling Makes the City Your Canvas By Brian G Randles | Published 2009-12-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rain-brush-umbrella References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2009/12/04/umbrella-for-graffiti/) & [instablogs](http://www.instablogs.com/liu-hsiang-ling/) The Rain Brush Umbrella was designed by Liu Hsiang-Ling and features a [paint brush](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/futura-avant-lab) that has a silicon-like tip. Even if it is not raining, all you have to do is stick the end of the umbrella in a puddle and you have endless entertainment while waiting for your ride. This Rain Brush Umbrella is perfect for all the procrastinating doodlers of the world with nothing better to do than draw on the concrete. I’m buying mine next week. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 29% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Interactive Umbrella:** Creating an umbrella that serves as an interactive canvas for artistic expression. - **Urban Art Integration:** Exploring the fusion of art and everyday urban objects to promote creativity in public spaces. - **Alternative Doodling:** Developing innovative solutions for people to express their creativity in unconventional ways. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art Supplies:** Providing art materials and tools that cater to innovative forms of artistic expression. - **Outdoor Accessories:** Creating innovative outdoor accessories that enhance user experiences and enable creative expression. - **Urban Design:** Designing urban environments that incorporate interactive elements for artistic engagement and expression. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artist-Designed Umbrella Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shed-rain-artist-series.md) - [Umbrella-Resembling Playful Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rain-man-lamp.md) - [Flying Umbrella Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-umbrella.md) - [Space-Inspired Folding Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloombrella.md) - [Unique Writing Instruments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphite-paintbrush-writing-instrument.md) - [Branch-Like Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aghsan.md) - [Artful Sculptural Umbrella Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inbetween-umbrella.md) - [Connected Dual Functioning Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hulasol.md) - [OLED Weather Umbrellas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ori-umbrella.md)
