#1

I am writing a Painter book and would like suggestions for any really incredible Painter artists and experts that I might include.

All the Best and Thanks!

Susi Lawson, Ryan Church, Nick Harris are the one I enjoy the most…

#3

I had never known of Susi Lawson and she is PERFECT for the Photography section! I sent her a note. We will highlight about 16-20 artists from around the world with different styles and stories. Lots of images, tips and techniques too.

Ryan Church and Nick Harris are amazing artists. I am hoping that all 3 will participate. Thanks for the suggestions!!

Oh… I forgot Don Seegmiller and Francis Tsai

#5

Justin Sweet and Ashley Wood comes to mind. Hyung Tae Kim is popular although I’m personally not the biggest fan. Terada Katsuya is well-known as a Painter artist too. There are other artists who use both Painter and Photoshop (and this in fact is a very popular combination–I do that myself) such as Craig Mullins and Korea’s Paper Blue.

Good links there, Jin, all of them, thank you. I’ve bookmarked Chet Phillips and Tim Jessell, both excellent.

#9

Hi Joe,

Yes, I love both Chet Phillip’s and Tim Jessell’s work. Did you take time to look at Tim’s Amorak page?

#10

Yes, I did, Jinny. Work of great quality. I’d looked at the book before in bookshops but I hadn’t registered the illustrator’s name but now I have.

I am very appreciative of the help in locating Painter artists. There is so much talent! We will also look at the websites of those that recommended too. I hope this book is going to be a hit. I wrote one like this for Poser (Secrets of Poser Experts). It will include LOTS of great artwork, techniques, tips, a DVD of content (it doesn’t have to be just from the artists in the book, so if you have anything you want to share…) and insights from the Painter Experts.

I love Painter, though I am not an artist. I worked at the ground level of Painter when Fractal Design first launched Painter 1! I will never forget the first time Mark Zimmer and Tom Hedges showed me the first strokes of painter on the screen. It was REVOLUTIONARY. My jaw dropped. I still get chills! Oh, we also had layers BEFORE Photoshop. Paint on!

I think I have a fairly different use for Painter other than straight art expression. You can see how I’ve used Painter professionally here.
pbase.com/tomdesgn.

I hope it gives you an idea of an out of he box use of Painter.

I use the illustrations for contact with my clients and it’s been a useful tool for me for over 15 years. I was featured in Cher Pendervis’s last three Painter WOW books.

All the best,
Tom

Simon Dominic’s stuff is pretty awesome.

#14

Isn’t he one of the tutorial authors in the new magazine Digital Artist?

#15

He did indeed have a tutorial in the first issue of Digital Artist, covering combining Painter and Artrage to create a nice fantasy landscape and cloudscape. I was also lucky enough to have some of my stuff in subsequent issues.

Simon’s website is at: http://www.painterly.co.uk/

and my own humble one is at http://johnmalcolm1970.co.uk

Sounds like an interesting book.

#16

Hey! I’ve seen your work before on the web and in mags… I love it… especially the steam punk one with the musket type gun…

Cheers

Thanks very much Ken. I am still relatively a beginner at getting stuff published, but I like to think I’m getting better with age and (more importantly) practice.
