Tech This Out Peoria – high tech digital art!
I’m really excited about the High Tech Expo "Tech This Out" that will be at the East Peoria Illinois Event Center may 9 – 10. My independent media company, Riverfront Media, is one of the companies with a booth and we’ll be doing demonstrations on how to film with a professional HD video camera and how to edit a movie in real time using mega fast MacBook Pro laptops. We are teaming up with Independence Media, who own four of our local radio stations and they are playing commercials for the Tech This Out over and over so it should have a huge turnout! Check out our latest commercial here!
I will also gave a demonstration on how to use the liquify filter, a neat tool in Photoshop, to make great digital art. It’ll be fun and I hope I can inspire some people to try their hand and mouse at this high tech form of art!
In case you haven’t seen liquify filter art before, here is an example. Random pixel pushing! 100% created from scratch in photoshop!

"Dawn of Spring" by Darren Daz Cox
oil on gallery wrapped canvas 12x12x1 inches. There is nice quality glitter and liquid gold leaf to add some magic!
Unfinished as i wait for it to dry before the next layer of oil glazes!
Did you know that a MacBook Pro is also the fastest windows computer? shhh don’t tell the PC people as they might be sad haha! I love traditional art as well as the latest high tech way to express my creativity and find it useful to work in many mediums as each one has it’s joys and challenges.
I would like to show you how I make my digital art at the *electronic drumroll*
