As I was looking over Tilman Faelker's I asked him to tell me about the pixelated areas in his work. I was hoping that it was on purpose and not just a shoddy scan:
At the moment I'm experimenting with digital distortion to find a digital equivalent to my sketchy handrawing...It's all about finding an aesthetic that doesn't hide its origin: my illustrations are all based on a pencil sketch (which is clearly visible) but they are all going through a digital "stage" in which I try to treat them in the same sketchy manner as I draw them, but this time with tools that are clearly digital...
Neat, right? I'm impressed with the deliberate fuzziness and pixelation. See more of Tilman's work here.
