Old School Meets New School —
Interesting Art for the Computer Age

The field of computer graphics is an interesting and, in many ways, amazing addition to how art is created. The combination of powerful personal computers and powerful graphics software packages such as Adobe Photoshop has resulted in all sorts of compelling, sophisticated images being created to appear on websites. There is one downside to this, however. Graphics have lost their charm.

High tech, low cost digital audio components, combined with powerful digital audio software, has resulted in techno and dance music that many people love. But many people miss the simple, imperfect, human component of "old school" music. The same is certainly true with graphics that appear on the monitor of a computer. Fortunately, for those of us who still appreciate a little humanity in artwork, all is not lost. There are artistic people around who are computer literate, but still want to create visual art that retains a human quality. One source for such art work is Out Of Hand Doodle at www.outofhanddoodle.com.

The artist behind the Out Of Hand Doodle site (who simply goes by the name of Mem) produces quirky, "doodle-like" line art that's very interesting and very captivating. The source of many (but not all) of the images is nature. Fall foliage, a mountain view, a rolling river — these are the sources of inspiration for several of the graphics that are available at this website.

While the graphics are interesting and enjoyable to view, there's also a practical side to them. You can download a graphic that's formatted to be printed as a greeting card (print it out, then write your own message on the card and fold it and mail it). There's a graphic that can serve as the background for a calling card (business card). There's also a graphic that can be used as a post card. Graphics can be printed and used for just about any purpose, including custom wrapping paper for a small gift, or even framed for a nice little picture suitable for display.

While the look of the graphics is intentionally not high tech, there are plenty of offerings at the site that can be used in a technical setting. The site owner has formatted some of the graphics as screen savers and slideshows.

All of the graphics at the Out Of Hand Doodle site are very inexpensive - or free! Obviously this artist considers his work a labor of love. If you're looking for line drawing graphics that are a little out of the ordinary, and you don't think "quirky" is a negative word, you'll find it well worth a little time visiting www.outofhanddoodle.com.
