i quite like what tom does in terms of the output image, but i don't think i can ever get past the fact that it's digital, regardless of how well executed it appears to be.
anyone else have similar feelings?
does he ever produce work traditionally?

I believe he did a sketch of the trees first (http://tombagshaw.blogspot.com/2011/04/enchanted-forest.html) for this piece that he scanned in but I think that is unusual for him. Usually all digital.

I really like Bagshaw's work, especially the portraits he does! I think the work from his recent show is absolutely gorgeous and I would have loved to see them all in person! For me the medium an artist uses matters little...it is just a means to get an image/message across and the artist can choose how he wants to do this. Then again, I'm not opposed to buying limited edition photographs either...This is a medium that has for too long been looked upon as being "less artistic". The skills necessary for making a great photo are more than many understand... Oils, acrylics etc. do have a certain handmade charm which I also love, but the medium an artist uses won't prevent me from buying a piece I really like. |

"Frankie" is one of my favorite Bagshaw images from 2010 (I own the giclee which was from a very small run of 10):  |

"Frankie" is a really great image. I wish I knew about Bagshaw when that was released, I would definitely have gone for it. I like "Pandora" a lot too, really hope that will be made into a print in the future!
I managed to get hold of "Lilly" from his current "Beautiful Imperfections" show...I'm really excited about it and can't wait for it to arrive!
(Can't figure out how to post pictures on this forum, they would have livened up this post somewhat)
