I have loved art all my life and can't remember when I was not drawing or painting or photographing something. While I paint old school too at times, I am a total advocate of digital painting and Photoshop. It is the future. I love digital art and multimedia, especially using it for traditional style paintings. Now my brushes are electronic, that's all. This medium takes me places I could never go before and allows me to sometimes blend my photos and painting experience. Sometimes there is a photo behind my work, sometimes not.
The world marches on and I decided to get with the new tools. In the late 1400s- early 1500s, Florence, Italy had a strong guild of book copyists, illuminators and and hand binders. They scorned the new printing press and said no real gentlemen would ever have a cheap machine printed book in his home. They could have embraced the new stuff, offered both kinds of books, illuminated or illustrated printed books, but no. They felt threatened and decided the traditional ways were the only good way. Needless to say, they lost that battle. I'm embracing it all. Who know where we will be in 50 years? Keep an open mind.
