Hodes' article

I really enjoyed this article, especially as someone who incorporates both analog and digital techniques in most of my work. One point I found particularly interesting was the possibility that an artist does not feel the same emotional attachment to a piece of work that is solely digital. I can understand this being the case for some people, myself included. As someone who loves hand drawing and traditional styles of working, I feel a certain connection to a piece that has that hand labor in it, even if the final outcome is a digital piece. I like the idea of seeing my hand work taken to a new form and delivered in a new way when I render it with digital capabilities.

One thing I did not necessarily agree with, however, was the statement that hand work is a work meticulous and lengthy process. Although in many cases, this may be true, I personally find a lot of digital work to be very tedious and frustrating. For me, analog work comes more naturally, so that tends to seem less meticulous than digital work which I need to spend more time and concentration on.
