Rarely do collectors have the opportunity to get involved at the beginning of a new art movement, when significant work by new artists is most unaffected and affordable. But that opportunity has arrived in the form of original Digital Art prints.Some collectors are already familiar with the term giclée, which has come to refer to high quality digitally printed reproductions of work created using any number of traditional media. This work is captured and imported into a computer by either scanning or digital photography for the purposes of making multiples. The time has come for a different group of artists to come to the forefront. Theseartists use the computer and a wide array of digital imaging software in the direct-to-disk creation of original Digital Art imagery. While this work may be printed using the same digital printing systems as giclée reproductions, Digital Art imagery is recognizably unique in that a different set of creative tools, which reside in the computer itself, are used to make the art in the first place.The use of computers in the creation of art is nothing new. Computer art has been with us now for well over twenty-five years. In fact, the majority of the images flooding our senses each day via a number of different media are created digitally. These new art making tools have revolutionized commercial art, photography, television, music and film and, as such, the term "digital art" can be appliedto so many artistic endeavors that this revolution has been virtually transparent. However, as artists who employ digital tools make inroads into the world of Fine Arts it has become time for some serious consideration as to what this art has to offer. A good place to begin to get a handle on this new kind of art making, would be to identify the basic genres of digital art that are currentlyemerging.
Photo-Manipulation and Collage
Photography, with its own long history as a populist image-making technology, turned mass-mediadevice, turned Fine Art, is both a model and a material for Digital Art. Digital imaging technology has served photographers well, with 2003 marking the first year that digital cameras outsold traditional film cameras. Beyond standard photographic techniques,digital tools open up a whole world of expanded image manipulation and printing techniques. In particular is the ability to resize, reposition, select, cut, paste, color and blend almost limitless layers of divergent photographic images into seamless and amazing digital Collages. These collages are often fantastic and surreal in their appearance and thereby often draw into question our moderndependency on the photograph to present a picture of truth and reality. Digital Art techniques have freed photography from its own finality. In the hands of a digital artist a photograph is just the beginning, neither real nor unreal.

Natural Media
The Chameleon-like ability of "natural media" software to mimic the appearance of many traditionalmedia, such as chalk, pastel, ink, watercolor, oils and airbrush makes this genre of Digital Art hard to spot, at first. This work is often created totally freehand using a pressure sensitive drawing tablet to transpose linear movements into digital line and variations in stylus pressure to vary this line's thickness, color or texture. Depending on the artist's intent, there can be very little to...
