"DIGITAL PAINTINGS" (includes mono-chromes, color & box yopps - series)
Unique archival outputs on canvas from brush & ink preliminaries
In the progression of my digital art quest, I did many digital paintings where the original ink and brush preliminaries were manipulated and color added within the computer to produce unique works on canvas.

"SIDE BY SIDES" (newest series) Fine Art Photography / Freehand Brush/Ink Combinations
All of Jack Atkinson’s Artworks (excluding his photography)
start as ink and brush paintings - created freehand and usually from life. Simply put, his drawings are like snap-shots, but using the hand, the eye and the unforgiving medium of ink and brush on paper to capture the decisive moment. Because life is in constant motion, many of his brush paintings are very fast, created with-in seconds and the people he draws are not always aware they have been painted, like paparazzi: at social situations; in public places; at events; on public transportation; etc. He has recently expanded his oeuvre to include fine art photography. In both his drawings and photographs, he captures the subjects which happen to be in front of him - a journalistic approach, as opposed to conceptualizations or composed set-ups.
