Digital illustration is a
relatively new form of art that allows artists to bring to life a fictional
world developed in the mind of an artist. Franklin Haws forms images that
creatively reflect human emotions and the illusion of reality into original works
of art, utilizes digital tools like a computer and mouse. It may sound easy, but it takes years of
training and experience to develop skills as an Illustrator.
“As a digital
illustrator, I've created art for children and adults. My topics include
animals and wildlife, cars and airplanes, funny monsters and cuddly cats and
dogs” said Franklin Haws, Illustrator. “I find true pleasure in creating
illustrations based on stories and family appreciation for what is most
important to them”.
Franklin’s imagination shines through in this exhibit with his
illustrative construction of fictional children’s book characters and his creative
interpretation of real-life objects. Franklin’s artwork
appeals to all ages and provides amazing examples of how imagination can be
expressed in the form of original artwork.” Denise Baerg, Chair Savage Arts
Council.
