Digital figure studies

More of my color and design digital figure studies. These are very interesting to create and the computer is the best medium for doing these kinds of experiments.

New digital figure studies

I've started a new series of color and design experiments which are created on the computer. Here are three new abstract figure studies which may eventually develop into acrylic paintings on canvas.

I find that the computer is the perfect medium for doing these kinds of color and design studies.

New digital images

I love to experiment with color and design on the computer. These are a couple of pieces created last night and this morning. I'm thinking about doing a whole series of these abstractions for a gallery exhibition. These are actually collages as I use pieces of previous digital images that I have done.

The images are 11 x 17" and will be limited edition prints on archival paper using pigmented inks.

Digital figure studies

I experiment a great deal on the computer, creating abstract color designs and various types of figure studies. Here are a few examples of my figure studies which can be used as preliminary sketches for acrylic paintings or printed on archival paper as limited edition prints.

The computer is a terrific medium for experimenting with color and design. You can easily do several versions of the same study for evaluation, something that would take a great deal of time with traditional painting mediums.

Working on new logo design

I frequently send out promotional brochures and am always in the process of altering my logo. Here are a couple of recent examples of new ideas for the logo. Just having fun with the computer, as always.

Color and design on the computer

The computer is a fabulous medium for creating color and design experiments. No paper, paint pencils or brushes, just your own imagination. For students this is a great way to immerse yourself into the design world, just dive right in and start creating. It's great practice and also will help develop your computer skills.

I used an old ink line drawing from a Dracula book that I illustrated for this poster, coloring it and adding the type on the computer
