I have revisited a few of my Nocturnes and Dreamscapes (most notably Dark Haze and Ethereal Landscape) for an upcoming show entitled Into The Darkness.  The new versions have the same name but now have (version 2) added at their ends.  The process for these go as follows.
Draw several images on to wet paper.
Take many photographs of the process.
Compile digital images into a new piece.
Print out on to high quality archival paper.
Go back into the printing image with pen and ink.
I find it very interesting the process of creating something with standard art techniques (in this case pen and ink), digitizing, re-imaging via a computer and creating a whole new image, making it physical again, and then returning to the use of standard techniques to finish the piece.  The idea of going tangible, digital, tangible makes for some interesting outcomes.  I will have to do delve into this some more...
