So here are a couple of digital experiments that I created while enrolled in an absolutely amazing workshop I participated in a couple of weeks ago at the Smithsonian in DC. It was a GNSI organized workshop in digital illustration and I really learned a lot. I don't see some sort of philosophical dichotomy between digital and traditional illustration-- I see them as different techniques and media for different purposes. I see digital techniques as a means for freelance illustration and traditional techniques as a means for Fine Art.
