They are certainly dramatic! Now they're all hung in the gallery they look stunning. A must see in the flesh to get the full effect.
Russ has surpassed himself.

Byroglyphics 'Domestic Science' at Signal, by bs on May 22, 2009 16:23:34 GMT 1, I must say they looked stunning, though im not too sure about the finish, just a huge digital print really. Like I said, they looked incredible when I walked in but when you got up close, seemed to miss some texture, would have expected them to be at least hand finished. The prints are amazing on an A3 format but being that huge, they missed a little something, but thats only my opinion. Ye, looked like lots had sold so congrats to all

Byroglyphics 'Domestic Science' at Signal, by Karl Read on May 22, 2009 16:41:56 GMT 1, I thought, well presumed they would be all painted. Id be very dissapointed if i had bought one online for it to turn up and be a digital print. Amazing artist anyway and love my prints by him. Has he not got any 100 % painted ones?

The prints are amazing on an A3 format but being that huge, they missed a little something, but thats only my opinion. Ye, looked like lots had sold so congrats to all So is quality not good up close? If you made purchase based on online pics alone, would you think you'd feel disappointed in quality when you actually see in person? Curious how these digital images always come out. Similar to Jason Thielke, almost bought one of his until I found out it was just a digital image.
When I heard about the ultrachrome digital image for these, I thought it may have been just a print out as well, but assumed at that price point it would be super clear and almost staring at a hand painted piece. Someone mentioned before there are hand drawn elements on the pieces itself, is there anything hand painted or drawn from what you guys saw or just the "hand-varnished" element??
but then, i guess that price is what some prints go for themselves. Images still look great themselves though!

Not sure where the 'hand-finishing' thing comes from. We have never described them as such. Chinese whispering going on here. They are 'hand-varnished'. None of Russ' digital canvases have any hand finishing. He has in the past painted on canvas of course, but these are in a very different style. The freedom and fantasy he achieves digitally is amazing and the quality of the works in the show is first class and they have an extremely crisp finish.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating. They're selling like hot cakes.

Not that this detracts from the works themselves, they look fantastic by the way

Sorry you're wrong there. We spent a long time deciding and agreeing with Russ how they should be described before the preview were sent out.

As I said in my previous post the works and sales of said works speak volumes. Maybe the phrasing was misleading, maybe myself and other members of the forum cannot read English, all I know is that there was deifinitely mention of hand finishing in the original buyers preview list. Let's leave it at that and just enjoy Russ' great work. peace

I got a preview link for Russ Mills new work on Mon or Tue and it said 'Hand-varnished Ultrachrome digital images on canvas (unique 1/1)'.

As did I... I think the miscommunication is in the "hand-varnished"... tbh, when I first read that description I thought that was referring to some sort of hand detail on the piece.. perhaps next time just say the works are varnished as I'm not sure how else to you could varnsh other than by hand?
Anyway, has anyone else gone to the show and have actual pics of the exhibition?

I think your right the computer is a tool, I use a computer for most of my compositions now as probably most Artists do these days. BUT then I draw them in an original form whether it be Stencil, Paint, or drawing
I think theres a stigma of Digital Art, and rightly so, alot of digital artists use alot of filters and programmes to do there work. Cos of this it is give it a bad name, as they are doing stuff at the touch of a button.
I have been drawing on a computer for twenty years, and think there's nowt wrong with it, as long as… Use a mouse as a pencil or brush to create an image Definately don't use any fancy filters. Conventially hand draw or paint an image and arrange it or enhance it in photoshop.
