But a suggestion from his supervisor while completing a masters degree in art at the Victorian College of Arts changed the Werribee artist's thinking.

His supervisor urged him to consider working with different mediums to see what new techniques he could learn and what new works he could create.

After a lot of thought, Bunn decided to give digital art a try.

He learnt to use Photoshop to manipulate images and soon a passion for digital art was born.

In the last few years, Bunn has honed his Photoshop skills and taken on the challenge of creating one piece of art to represent something in the news each day.

This challenge sees him scour news sources for images of the day's events which he then crops and manipulates.

The finished images are accompanied by a short explanation of the event they represent and the name of the person in the photo.

"I am a news junkie. I take part of a news story, manipulate it and create an image," Bunn said. "I try not to focus too much on celebrities and look for people who have contributed good or bad to society. I try to capture a broad range of images."

Bunn's style of art has become so successful that last year he was invited to show his work at a digital show in New York.

Bunn is bringing his show, Spinning Pop, back to Werribee, where it will be exhibited in the Wyndham Art Gallery. It includes a collection of images which represent every day from January 1 to June 30 this year.

"People think they are like paintings but they are actually digital works," Bunn said.

"I think digital art makes images more interesting. I hope people will look at the images and remember what the event was."

Spinning Pop is on until October 9.
