Illustration provides the only way to bring back to life important people, events and situations long past. And to make relationships understandable - mechanical, physiological and psychological. There's also no way more powerful or versatile in evoking emotion or creating a mood, often a requisite to establishing a conducive selling or educational environment. Whether informing the mind, intriguing the imagination or doing both together, illustration offers opportunities possible no other way. As our world becomes increasingly homogeneous, anything that breaks the mold of sameness stands out.
Nothing is more individualistic than artistry.
Although the power of computers and software often makes it possible for non-talented individuals to accomplish other creative tasks with a fair degree of skill, illustration remains a notable exception. Probably always will, too. Artistic talent is unique And speaking of computers, their increasing use an illustration medium is opening up another, whole new range of communications options. This already includes the manipulation and melding of hand-rendered, photographic, computer generated and scanned images, and the surface has barely been scratched. Here, too, the output is only as good as the artistic talent sitting at the keyboard.
