On the
Making of the Whispers in the Clouds Series: These
images are the result of a double process: the first part of the work
required sketching with magic marker--in a wide-open cartoon style--a
set of images on paper, the intermediate part of the work required
scanning the images to digital files, and the second part of the
process required enhancing the scanned images with digital tools. The
goal of the second process was to create a "digital spray paint" effect
and thereby give the images an energy different from the energy of
their cartoon style. |
