Strange Rain imageWeather-wise, we couldn’t have picked a better launch window for Strange Rain—in the middle of what feels like a never-ending rainstorm here in Southern California (yes, we know we’re wimps about such things). To celebrate, we’re putting together a “recursion gallery” and we need your help!

Send us photos of Strange Rain running your iPad or iPhone with some kind of real-life rain-related backdrop, and we’ll post them here on the site. No NSFW submissions please, and keep your devices dry (we’d hate for you to have to make an unexpected trip to your local Apple Store)—other than that, have at it! The more creative, the better. We can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Email your submissions (with photo credits) to info@opertoon.com. Thanks!
