Digital Painting: Take Five in Blue is a Suzka tribute to Dave Brubeck.
DIGITAL CREATION: It was 2006 at Monterey’s Jazz Festival, my 14th as stage designer, the festivals 49th. I met Dave Brubeck a number of times but that year, I left backstage and sat outside in the arena to listen to Brubeck’s jazz opera ‘Cannery Row Suite’. I simply loved it. It was the last set on Sunday with barely a sliver of a moon in the sky. Nobody moved until the last note was played.

ABOUT DIGITALS: I adore painting, whether I use a brush or my mouse. I especially love the smell of paint and the thick milky touch of it. More than often, I have paint goop under and around my fingernails and to this day, I take great pride in paint droppings on my cloths. For me wet paint is so undisciplined, wild and yummy. There's a delicious substance to it all. And yet, my computer offers an equally creative energy that is quite compelling. A digital palette includes thousands of color applications, brush styles and textures. I can work on hundreds of layers at one time, distort their properties and manipulate masses of color. There is a paradigm of inventiveness that can be created on my computer.
