Digital Art is coming of age, and nowhere is this more
evident that at Renderosity.com, by far the largest online community in
the field—with over 200,000 members and well over 100,000 digital images
on display in the site’s numerous galleries. Many of the most influential
and promising artists of this community have been brought together by John
Grant and Audre Vysniauskas in their new book DIGITAL ART FOR THE 21st
CENTURY: Renderosity. This book displays the cutting edge of digital art,
and will certainly become a classic in the field.
Audre Vysniauskas (audre), digital artist extraordinaire
and past Editor-in-Chief of Renderosity Magazine, joins Hugo-, World
Fantasy- and Chesley Award-winning writer John Grant to present DIGITAL
ART FOR THE 21st CENTURY. Showcased in this lavish volume is a
large selection of Renderosity contributors’ finest works. In the 21
generously illustrated portfolios here—200 images in full color—you will
see a stunning variety of the very best of modern digital art, including
human forms, fantasy, science fiction, abstracts, portraits, fractals,
landscapes, and much more. Each artist brings to this collection a unique
style and approach, together creating the most comprehensive published
collection of modern digital art to date. Brief technical notes accompany
each image, and in addition the artists provide their own insightful
comments.
Audre Vysniauskas is better known as the prolific
and much-lauded digital illustrator audre. A passionate advocate of the
use of computers in creating art, she was until recently Editor-in-Chief
of Renderosity Magazine, and runs the digital art display at the annual
celebration of the fantastic, Dragon*Con. Always pushing the digital
envelope, she enjoys tying together varied sources in experimental art,
often incorporating fractals, photographs, and other unlikely elements in
her work. She remains extremely active in the digital arts community,
having contributed to various digital imaging conferences, conventions,
and magazines.
John Grant is the author of some sixty books
including novels and books on fantasy, science fiction, animation, and
art. He has received the Hugo, the World Fantasy Award, the J. Lloyd Eaton
Award, the Mythopoeic Society Scholarship Award, the Locus Award, the
Chesley Award and a rare British Science Fiction Association Special
Award. He was for many years the Commissioning Editor of Paper Tiger, the
world’s leading publisher of fantasy/science-fiction art books. He is the
US Reviews Editor of the major fantasy/SF website Infinity Plus and

written about audre lorde? i mean cripes... go to goodle and do a search for audre, what do you get?? you get
a zillion pages about audre lorde. i mean how much can you need to hear about any one person? okay okay, so i do agree
audre lorde was important and a courageous and talented person, but enough already. agreed? so
this page, while not about audre lorde, is about another audre. perhaps not such a famous audre as audre lorde but
certainly someone who deserves to at least show up on google, don'tcha think? no? hmmm well in any event, this website is
audre's online weird art portfolio. that means everything in here was created by audre, not by audre lorde. audre is weird, okay?
let's face it, audre is... well, audre. weird, no?
