I agree with your statements. However, the problem I see - it's more of a feeling on my part, really - there is nothing tangible in those bits and bites. There is just something about (e.g.) a painting which you can touch, feel, even smell. Sure, you can print digital art, but (to me) it's still aseptic, cold, technical.

I have worked (technical, not artistic) on a lot of web sites in my day, which have a very short half-life. Now, looking back, I have nothing to show for... It was work, it was in part ground-breaking at the time, and now it's defunct and worthless. The older I get, the more I regret having worked in engineering. I think I would have loved cabinetry. Wood is so warm... Now I would know, there is some furniture out there I created. Does that make sense?

Mind you, this comment is IN NO WAY meant to denigrate digital art or your excellent work in particular. I love your stuff. Just musing, just wondering how you might feel about that particular aspect?
