Ron Eller has been working in the graphic and fine art fields for over thirty years. He has won numerous local and national awards for his illustrations, design, and work as a fine artist. He has been involved in the technological revolution from the time the first Mac SE was released. Ron is experienced in all the graphics programs related to design art, desktop publishing programs and multi-media creation. He is involved in creating fine art prints by utilizing the computer as a fine art medium, Using interactive design on the Internet as an art form. Eller's work is not typical digital art where some one masters a 3 dimensional program and thinks they are an artist. "Sadly this is all to common fare for the definition of digital art." states Mr. Eller "The work R. Eller has created digitally is at the for front of a renaissance spurned by the technical revolution. He has mastered the digital technology as a medium like oil painting or water color, print making etc." " A computer does not an artist make. First comes the artist and then comes the tools the artist finds to express his or her particular creative vision." The medium is not the message, nor has it ever been. The message is the message and the medium is only as significant as we choose to make it. We must always be wary of attaching to much importance to the cover and what paper it is printed on, lest we miss the truth of the story altogether."
“I began developing Computer generated fine art images around 1986. Since that time I’ve shown in a number of galleries from Los Angeles to the East Coast. As a graphic designer in the commercial art field I was introduced to the computer when it was not much more than a primitive type setting tool. A lot has happened since the first Mac SE’s were introduced in the early eighties. Embracing the computer as a fine art medium came slowly. As the technology became more diversified and with the dawn of some wonderful digital paint programs such as Adobe Photoshop and Painter, it was inevitable that I would begin exploring the possibilities of creating images for no other purpose than expressing and exploring my own aesthetic. In more recent years with the spread of Internet technology I have begun designing commercial and fine art interactive sites. The introduction of motion and animation has changed my creative perceptions. It’s a whole new medium, like oil painting or sculpture. It is the medium interactive digital art. The dynamic of all the sites I have created is to provide unusual interactive artistic work that provide some message and allows the participant interact with what is being communicated.” To view work done recently go to http://www.reller.com. I am not interested in the business of print making. Each piece will be printed once and signed by me.
"I became increasingly interested in this new medium when I realized I could generate images that did not look as if they were created on a computer. Slick high tech looking 3 dimensional art is not for me. Hollywood plastic, elastic virtual nowhere land look can be interesting when done well, but few have conquered the slick plastic gilded tech image. It’s a bit like art done on black velvet. Mastering the maze of button pushing does not an artist make. It requires an artists aesthetic and sensibility to make interactive web sites work.”
“My Web page http://www.reller.com has been designed to display my work as an artist, designer and visionary. It is a work in progress. It is also designed to be a conceptual piece. Humor, tragedy, courage, are spoken to along with all kinds of poignant subject matter. If one likes Rock and Roll and Art Museums you will thoroughly enjoy Reller.com. I look at reller.com much the same way a painter does when embraced with their work.

“Traditional labels do not adequately give you a sense about my work. Abstract Impressionism may be one descriptor. Surreal could be another. In truth I fit many categories. I have created my own category that best describes my work, “Digital Conceptualism.” I do what ever it requires to get the concept across. To those ends I create nothing that does not have a significant concept to begin with.”
