Stunning images demonstrate the dramatic changes in art due to digital technology

What is now being done in the creation of digital art is nothing short of amazing. This book contains some of the best examples of what has been created to date. It contains works by the digital artists: *) MarcelBarthel *) Adam Benton *) Bernard Dumaine *) Matt Hansel *) David Ho *) Michael Komarck *) Vod Land *) James Lee *) Elizabeth Leggett *) Duncan Long *) Ron Miller *) Socar Myles *) Tina Oloyede *) John Picacio *) Kees Robol *) Chuck Siebuhr *) Andy Simmons *) Audre Vysniauskas *) Thomas Weiss *) Christina Yoder *) Marcin Zemczak The images are absolutely stunning; I was particularly impressed with some of those with a fantasy/science fiction theme. There have been a few dramatic changes in art since the first cave paintings, but in my mind the greatest of all has been the advent of digital technology. By allowing the artist to truly let their imagination run wild and make an image of what is in their mind, digital technology allows them to create works that simply were not possible only a few years ago.
