Corel Painter X is the world's most powerful natural media painting and illustration software, delivering a next-generation art studio that blurs the line between traditional and digital art like never before. Working closely with photographers and other professionals, the Painter X team explored the relationship between the artist's hand and the canvas. As a result, Corel Painter X has become the industry standard for digital painting and illustration, with the introduction of unparalleled performance, new composition tools and the revolutionary RealBristle™ Painting System that provides an organic painting and illustration experience, right down to the individual bristles on the brush.

Jones, a concept artist, co-founder of an Internet art community, and art director for Massive Black, will be presenting at the //ADAPT Conference on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 9:00 a.m. Church, a senior art director at Industrial Light & Magic (ILM), will be presenting on Friday, Sept. 28 at 1:45 p.m.
