“Digital painting is a wonderful combination of the oldest artistic technique in the world with the
most modern artistic technique. You can manipulate every pixel of a digital pixel now to create
colour and light and shade and so manipulate the data that was shot on the day. But to do that,
you go back to the oldest art form, just a brush and pigments and paint to create the look. ”

“There’s loads of cross-pollination here. We were all in one big room together, so everybody could
feed off each other. And we’d talk about it while we were working. Everybody brings their own

conceived of”
