--In short what I see most of is that 'traditional art' is promoted based on history or celebrity. Digital art promotes an artists skill and innovation.

--ooooh punk i know that feel! i just say nope and also that its hard work and lot of hours
24 Aug 09:20
--There was also something on the news this morning about a virtual gallery called Panther.

--the idea you have to train.. pift, nobody believes that, it's all 'natural talent'... I frickin wish -_-
24 Aug 09:17
--Who hasn't had that "oh your an artist, can you draw me X for free because while I /could/ do it myself because art isn't difficult at all, I can't actually draw because I wasn't born with drawing talent and you were so it won't cost you any effort at all.. so free.."

--Where I am art is quite prolific. We've an art and science museum and a gallery or modern art, a conservatoriums and art and film schools. You're right that they aren't vlued in the same way, but they all showcase any manner of artwork. Recently the powerhouse had a gallery celebrating digital games. A $2000 print of a geometric design features link zelda and gannon.

--Art in general has a low perceived value unless it's historically significant
24 Aug 08:40
--and on top of that, there's still plenty of people who don't know enough about the creative process of digital art to even consider it painting
24 Aug 08:38
--I'm not saying that a digital print can't be high quality, that there isn't a fairly large span of values in prints, or even that the person printing it doesn't affect the quality and valueof the print. I am just saying that it is still not generally valued like a traditional painting
24 Aug 08:31
--Put it this way, at best printing archival quality art prints is in my honest opinion equal if not of better calibre than a traditional painter that buys premixed paints instead of making one's own.
24 Aug 08:30
--Disagree. Printing is not as clean and cosmetic as is first impression. If you put your image onto a usb and go to a touch screen at kmart and print out 100 copies then sure, instant post card. Printing in large format involves a lot of human adjustments to create exact colour and minimal bleeding. Sometimes ink is even laid by hand.
24 Aug 08:22
--still, one print of a digital painting looks exactly like the next, and a limited edition is just an attempt to shorten the supply artificially to make something more valuable - which works of course, for a collector or such, but nevertheless, a modern digital print is not a unique piece of art
24 Aug 08:10
--Might have been paint... might have been both or more than one artist. I don't know. I have a cold amd am abput to start a miserable day in customer service. I'm out.
24 Aug 08:09
--Tgen there was that one guy who put his own blood into the ink so no one could copy it.
24 Aug 08:08
--Same goes for 3D printing. There is a lot of post-print treatment involved. Just because it's manufactured does not mean it is not entirely unique.
24 Aug 08:07
--Then given the minute differences in the way ink has been applied even a single run of prints will have a signature identifier for each print.
24 Aug 08:06
--Engraving plates involve a tonne more detail but can only run a limited number of prinys before the plate becomes useless.
24 Aug 08:05
--Woodblock printing or lithographic printing is a common illustration tool.
