Digital Art

       After earning his BFA from UNM, and enjoying a brief hiatus from computer work, Owen rekindled his interest in digital art and animation and began creating colorful abstract images in Photoshop.  He found they came very easily, and soon dedicated generous amounts of time to developing and creating new work flows in the digital environment.  He has yet to employ photography and 3-D modeling into his digital compositions, if only because he enjoys using the various brush, paint, filter, and blend mode tools in Photoshop so much. However photography and 3-D modeling figures to become an exciting new addition to the work in the near future.  Computing power is truly an amazing medium for the creation of visual arts.  Its utterly mathematical and pragmatic logic is a surprising complement to the creative visual artist.  Like many other forms of modern technology, computers can facillitate positive and uplifting results rather than negative ones, and it is to the ends of the former that Owen has begun using the medium for image making.
