Andrew Jones, “Rockstar” of computer graphics with a Wacom Tablet slung around him like a guitar, will be speaking at CGCon2009, and they’ve got an interview with him to give you some background.

Some days I’m a digital art evangelist, others I’m a creative motivational speaker. On the weekends I’m visual stenographer of underground culture. Whether I’m airbrushing on a human figure or projecting photonic illusions on a screen, my goal is the same. From pixels to pigment I serve as an aperture for beauty and recapitulate it to the best of my ability, to share the gift of creation and to support and inspire heightened states of artistic potential in the people that I’m fortunate enough to cross paths with.
