Default Re: interesting perspective

It's results that count . There is a charm and appeal to hand engraving that is unmistakeable, but the world is changing, and there are certainly more aids and short cuts than there were even a decade ago. If you take every shortcut from laziness, your work will probably drown in a sea of mediocrity. If you hold onto being a purist, you might marginalise your talent ( but that's an individual call for sure). I just didnt think much of many of the somewhat brainwashed 'purists' I saw coming out of design schools in Aus, and I belived the future lay with neither them nor the somewhat blinkered trade students. If you can get a beautiful result in a reasonable time frame, you're onto a winner.
