Most of my watercolors are on disks, I have a scanner.l I pull up a watercolor I would like to use for a print, grey scale it, put it to a useable size and print it out. Than I use a tracing paper to tranfer it to my plate. When I work with these images they have always changed, it is a general idea or direction for my work. I put on my classical music and"feel" my way through my images as all I have are some lines to guide me. I am not using photos, nor am I using any one elses work or ideas, it is all mine. I therefor find the computer and printer an aid, a tool among many tools. I would say that the person using those photos and trying to create images in a japanese style certainly has a creative thought or two.
