Description

Horizon 3 was created in 1999 using a Praktica MTL3 35mm film camera and an Apple Mac 7300 computer.
Originally being designed for Screen Print it was one of the first art works that I decided to produce digitally.
Instead of hand drawing the artwork using a rotoring pen I was going to use my new Mac in the corner.

It all began with a 6x4 inch photograph taken with a trusty Praktica camera.
Having scanned and adjusted the photograph in Photoshop 4,
the scan was then simplified and vectorized using 25/50 colours in Adobe Streamline.
After further colour reductions and many vector adjustments in illustrator 8,
Horizon 3 was finally composed ready for Screen Printing.

In the November of 1999 JD Weatherspoon commissioned a huge 32x45 inch digital print of Horizon 3 .
With advances in digital printing this was achieved and my earlier plans for Screen Printing an edition were
abandoned.

Now in 2009, with the development of print on demand Horizon 3 is available for everyone.
It can now be printed on canvas an on various art papers in many different size ratios.

Essentially Horizon 3 is a fusion of photographic and digital technology.
As a Fusion Artist I utilise, join, blend and unify these technologies, hopefully producing new exciting imagery.
