As a ColorPro partner, we tasked him to create an exclusive piece for us to auction for charity. We hope that by holding this online charity auction, we can help those in need."

"When ViewSonic reached out and asked me for a custom piece of art to auction off for charity, I was more than happy to provide something cool and unique that reflects both ViewSonic and my art said Cliff Cramp. I’ve been working with the ColorPro team and use the ColorPro™ VP3268-4K monitor for my work. My illustrations consist of gradients of light and shadows, and I rely on my display to deliver the detail and precision I need. Knowing that the ColorPro monitors can match my level of detail is why it’s the only monitor I use. Being able to create art for charity makes it even better."
