Nick Rudock: Bert Monroy photorealist digital artist

Bert Monroy is a photorealist digital artist. He considered one of the pioneers of digital art. He has published several books and is an accomplished lecturer.

He considers himself to be a Hyper-realist artist. His medium is actual light and this can be seen by the ultra realism in his work. The light and use of shadow create realism that is not matched by any other digital artist.
When he discovered the first Macintosh 128 in 1984 he began his digital career. He was the founding pioneer of the New York firm Incredible Interactivity and was responsible for multimedia presentations as early as 1986. His work has been used to introduce numerous software projects such as Phostoshop, VideoWorks, PixelPaint, and ImageStudio.

I have chose to show a couple of his works. I chose these do to the ultra realism he creates by his use of light and shadow. They are truly magnificent and have to be looked at closely to truly appreciate them. They look real!

Also here is a interview clip in which Monroy gives a tutorial on how to create metal text layers.
