Digital Dreams: Art

Scope and content:

Randy Jones provides the following statment about the art featured in this collection:

I begin with my Macintosh computer and scanner. From there, I scan bits of cloth, patterns, and small objects such as leaves or pieces of fruit (by lifting up the scanner lid and putting objects under a show box on top of the glass). Once scanned into a program called "Photoshop," I fine tune the textures and colors and sometimes make "clipping paths" to export into two 3d programs, "Carrara, Bryce and Vue." There, 3d models are created and scans are used as texture maps, and extruded objects. Finally, after the 3D scenes are rendered, they're brought back into "Photoshop and Painter," tweaked, and printed from an archival Epson photo printer.

Themes in my art are still-life and landscape--exploring texture, shape, light, shadow and reflections.
