Really love how the Christian community has been drawing attention to it lately and doing everything they can to facilitate it.<br /><br />On an artistic note, whenever I see your traditional airbrush work, I'm always curious what techniques and methods carried over when you decided to go digital and which things you had to learn all over again. <br /><br />I'd imagine the thinking behind using masks is a pretty logical jump, but moving from working transparently to a more "opaque" medium like digital painting would have had to be a challenge at first.<br /><br />Thoughts?Bret A.
