Artwork Source won First Place in the Digitizing Artistry category with the Cowboy Kid layout based on a colored pencil drawing. It took 8 hours to sew. It started out as an excercise in shading we used to improve and test our digitizers skills.

The product was so beautiful we couldn't stand to see it not get sewn. It was a good choice! It got us first place in one of the most coveted categories in one of the most prestigious digitizing contests in the country!

ArtworkSource Digitizing is featured on the Cover of Industry Leading Printwear Magazine's Embroidery Guidebook (November 07) for the Second Year in a Row.

"Cory Dean, Luis Martinez, and their team of talented artists at Wash.-based Artwork Source digitizited the design I embroidered to appear on last November's cover, so I knew they would be up for this year's challenge."

Jane Swanzy, Embroiderer

"If I didn't have a good digitzer I'd be stuck using stock designs. I need something that's totally mine and my customer's, not something they'll see anywhere else."

This Artwork Source digitized logo won the November 2006 Printwear Magazine Digitizing Contest. It was featured on the cover. Working on a job like this not only requires expertise as a digitizer but a keen sense of design. All the right decisions were made in the translation of this image from the grainy bitmap we were given into an award winning stitch file.

"Since we don't have a font like the letters in MANGO's, each letter of the text is also redrawn."

Getting an image such as this into vector format is no small task. Getting it down to a screenprintable number of colors is nearly impossible. Our artists achieved this feat with this image. It is a beautiful illustration of what our artists can. It was featured on the cover of April 2007's CorelPro Magazine.
