New Masters
of Photoshop
What most of us have missed in the past five years is the realization that we're all taking part in the emergence of another genre of true art. A nation of aspiring digital graphic artists and designers sit on the sidelines and talk about Photoshop, yet they trudge through the day to day tedium unaware of a new emerging art form. The New Masters of Photoshop is an important book because it not only showcases the works of Masters who use Photoshop, but because it looks into the minds of these masters as well.
Derek Lea contributes a massive chapter to this award-winning book, in which he discusses his methods and inspiration. Some of Derek's more ominous work is featured here, alongside a detailed walkthrough of the creation of his dark masterpiece 'Psychosurgery'.
