Featured Artist: John Leben, digital art

With the advent of digital cameras many people got into the photography game -- now it was so easy, point and shoot, send the file to the printer and voila an artist is born!

That is not what John Leben is doing. A former video producer, painter, graphic designer, and documentary producer he has been compelled by technology since college days, exploring its various uses as an art medium. The continuous changing landscape in the graphic arts field led him to the art fairs some years ago where now you can find a man and his work that is the result of his various careers.

Relatively new to the art fair business John exploits his graphic arts background to continues his life's interests using his computer, painting and drawing on his computer screen, layering photos and color using software called "Art Rage" to create his imagery. This is not "photoshopped" imagery but original painting. You've must see it!

Lucky you, if you live in the Midwest you can meet John and explore his work soon:

Summer Art Festival - Omaha, NE - June 25-27
Krasl Art Fair on the Bluff - St. Joseph, MI - July 10-11
South University Art Fair - Ann Arbor, MI - July 21-24

  • LOL. The war of words over photoshopped and digital photo and traditional photo goes on and on, doesn't it? Personally, if I was the juror (which I am not) I really appreciate original ideas and imagery regardless of the tools or equipment used.
  • Do I detect a relegation of "photoshopped" photos to an inferior position of "Art Raged" creations? Perhaps now I know why the only rejection I collected this year was a CM production.
