i agree....unknowingly, i saw his traditional work at an art show several years ago. some guy next to me asked me what i thought of the show and i was said 'did you see andrew jones' work? it was incredible! you should go check it out.'... it was only as i was leaving that i found out from someone else that i had told andrew jones to check out his own work. felt pretty stupid.

wow people because u dont understand the medien or know how his paintings are created u consider it fake, if u dont know what your talking about dont post comments because it makes u look retarted. Andrew jones is an amazing artist, just because he composes on a newere type off medien dosent mean he dserves any less respect

@Tihmily2007 essentially there is no difference, which kinda makes me sad. Conceptual art, defined appropriately, is a form of applied philosophy, and its the depth of that philosophical approach to making artwork that separates great ideas, from poor ones (the idea is the art). In this video, i would say that concept art done for games and the film industry is severely lacking any aesthetic depth that provides us with progressive ideas. To call this artwork conceptual today, is preposterous.

Second most favourite artist :) Sorry Android the Chiu is my favourite :) Only because I love wacky creatures though!

I don't see this as conceptual art but more of concept art. Anyone would beg to tell me different?

I think people did not hear the part, where he talks about a shift in our world and us digital artists being part of a movement, of something greater. It's funny it's usually those type of people that are last at everything.

I don't give a shit about your petty political ideas, you try to fit your artwork after the fact, so you seem temporally relevant. Just let your painting do the talking, because your stream of subconscious has more to say than that crap coming out of your mouth. Any moronic PETA model can talk about the "revolution". The paintings are wonderful and creative enough. Keep the diatribe for the girls you are trying to lay.

lol i disagree thats a awesome comment

I do dislike him for using computer generated shapes, I think that someone on that level should try to put as much of themselves into the work as possible, I know he picks the shapes generated but none the less I think it would show more of the emotion hes trying to articulate

ok, stupid comment, I know, but what's the music in the background?
