Danger and Opportunity - The Prints
Lee Edwards
It all started for me when I scanned in my black and white etchings to 'colour' them in PhotoShop. The handmade textures were vastly superior to any of the synthetic 'natural' media filters or tools offered by any computer 'paint' software. What I did get from PhotoShop was the ability to layer multiple images and play with layer blending. I also knew that the type of work I wanted to produce would need to emerge from traditional sources. Now I use PhotoShop as a compositional tool blending scanned photography, drawing, oil and pastel painting, printmaking, found objects and poetry to create my own unique style. This restrained use of PhotoShop, that creates work that allows the scanned material to add its own flavour, is what I term organic digital. I see the images as visual songs. The images and text working like music and vocals. I now use my images both for personal projects and also on CD Packaging and other promotional materials for YellowMoon clients.
ART RESOURCES
We regularly use other artists and illustrators in projects. This has been very useful in the production of MercuryMoon Magazine. We are always looking to add to our collection of artists for use on CD Packaging and other promotional materials. Electric Ghost - The new Free YellowMoon Mini Music Journal will have samples of their work. If you think your work may be of interest please get in touch.
