Digital Illustrations

These drawings were created on an online Artist website called Queeky.com. Originating within a drawing program that was (at the time) being developed by an Artist from Germany, I was one of several artists across the globe using trial and error drawing methods to help flesh out the beta-testing process. I began using the site in 2007 when there were just a handful of artists. And now over the years it has blossomed into an enormously successful online graphic arts social site with over 100,000 artists. In recent years I have taken a hiatus from the digital realm to produce "gallery artworks" in my studio, but I still maintain a profile of 60 experimental drawings on my Queeky online profile under the name bcdetwiler.
