Dan Kitchener’s Photoshop Art isn’t your Ordinary Comic Book Stuff

UK artist Dan Kitchener has developed his own art style. He begins by designing a scene in his sketchbook and then turns to his computer to create a digital painting in Photoshop. The result is a combination of classic comic book art styles and art software styles, a fusion that creates a densely saturated image, unlike anything that an artist could create with physical art supplies.

Kitchener’s Photoshop paintings are a window into the artist’s imagination; an alternative world in which fantasy and fact collide with passion, violence, beauty and superpowers. You can find Dan Kitchener on his website or see more of his Photoshop art on CGSociety.
