More graffiti from my brief shoot at the Chevy dealership. This was painted on some windows which remain unbroken, and they reflected the office buildings nearby. Image altered in Photoshop by increasing saturation on reflection and adding drop shadows to unaltered tags.
I loaded CS4 version of PS last Saturday and I’m getting to know my […]
I had some down time at work yesterday, and I didn’t have my laptop (missed Twitter), so I was surfing the web looking for some Photoshop tutorials. Along the way I found Brusheezy, which has a fabulous collection of Free brushes you can add to your Photoshop Library. I particularly liked the ones listed under […]
I’ve been just sick enough this week so I don’t do much more than consume tea and orange juice and stay glued to my soft chair, knees covered with a blanket. I read, or surf the internet, or cut up magazines. Every now and then I’ll get up and tidy the room a little bit, […]

The two brothers, Weaves and Juicester, decided a trip to Planet Earth for some fishing was exactly in order. They donned their fishing togs, swept up their violins, and planted themselves in the Sprint […]

mockingbird sonata in the maple tree
touch the night to light your soul
variation on a sketch by Harry Clarke, 1919.
Sometimes I like to play with Photoshop’s filters. I don’t use them much in my photography, but they’re nice for creating illustrations. I found a site called The Altered Heart, a weekly prompt for creating a piece of art containing a heart-shape. The word prompt this week is “weather/weathered” and this is what I came […]
