Are there any good apps for collecting art on the iPhone/iPad? I'm looking for some sort of database where I could add details, photos or the stuff I have and want.

I don't keep photos, but I keep a spreadsheet on google docs and that's worked really well for me.

or, you can just join expressobeans.com and add your collection to the database. yes, originals are welcomed there... even though it is a forum for prints, mostly. I have my collection uploaded there, and it works wonders.
cheers

Wow, thank you for the info! Anything is better than what I currently have, which is nothing... Commandax also told me about Bento which seems to be pretty good (I downloaded the app) as well as Mystuff2. I guess any type of database works.
If you think of more apps or methods or logging your artwork, please post them
thanks again!

I don't know about the last site posted but with EB you're kind of limited as to what fields you have whereas with a spreadsheet, you can customize the fields you want. As far as mine goes:
Artist Title Year Edition (OG or print #) Seller (username) Vendor (Artchival, eBay, Gallery, etc) Price Tax/Fees Ship Total Price Date Size (of artwork) Invoice (Paypal transaction ID, etc) Email Real Name Comments (Condition, etc) Tracking #
If I ever need to go through my collection, I can sort it by artist, title, date, price, whatever with one click. You can also add dynamic fields at the end that add up the value of the entire column, for example to see the total cost of your collection.
