I have written many times before about the fleeting nature of digital images. What appears to be the best file format suddenly disappears and you are struggling to find any system that can read the file let alone display the image. This might sound alarmist which it is but consider this – computer generated images have only been available for the last 20 or so years – there is no track record of longevity compared to a printed image.
With this rather in mind I have decided that I will start to print off some of my Brushes work. This is not an act of vanity rather I feel it is important keep a record so that any progress you make can be judged. Also it is so much more rewarding to hold a print, something physical, rather than look at a screen, no matter how good it might be. Whilst I was preparing the print I suddenly realised that I can work on the images in photoshop and this open a whole new are of experiment and development. All rather exciting.
