  This title investigates the work of image-makers whose craft occupies the space somewhere between graphic design and fine art and whose tools are increasingly those of a digital medium. Featuring the full range of contemporary approaches to illustration, Pen and Mouse defines the innovative areas practice: from artists working by hand to those producing purely digital art work, or hybrid forms combining digital and traditional media. The book outlines the effect that technology has had on commercial artists, and demonstrates this with the work of over 40 illustrators from around the world, reflecting vastly differing styles. The contributors comment on their motivation and working methods, and give their views on the role of technology and its effect on their work.
