The Writer's Feathers

Writer's needs special feathers, also called quills. Sometimes it may appear as if the ink they use is in fact heart blood.

 This is a combo of lots of textures and vintage public domain images plus my own photograph, edited and mixed up in Photoshop.

There are two more to come in the next few days. In the meanwhile this one is available as prints and other merchandise in the usual outlets. :D

Bloody Lips

I am still find inspiration in Hannibal (the TV series) although I went back a bit further for more ideas to the movie poster for Silence of the Lambs. This is my interpretion.

Three of my own photographs (butterfly, blood), vector drawing (lips), the unicorn is a public domain vintage image. All mixed up in Photoshop with the help of textures (all bought) and some curve and colour adjustments. :D

This is an image I created for the 1/52 project (week 48). There are two photographs of the ice that has frosted over a water barrel in the garden, one a close-up shot (macro lens) of the ice at the front, the other a macro shot of the reflection of the rose bushes in the ice. I've added textures and colour adjustments and cropped it. There's a second landscape version I'll post tomorrow.

There is also a poem to go with it, which can be read here.

A triptych of my seed pod images. The perfect present for an avid gardener. The images were taken with a macro lens and edited mostly with colour adjustments to achieve this effect.

Back to work....

My computer is finally back (well all new since the old one couldn't be rescued.... ) However, thanks to my favourite in-house technical wizard I am now flying. :-)

Here are a couple of new iPhone cases I produced on the laptop:

Free - Photo Manipulation

Sub title: Flying not falling

This is an odd one... I looked out from my back door this morning and saw this arrangement on the paving slabs and it said to me "Free". It's a natural diptych to boot. LOL For those times in life when we make a decision that frees us and for a brief moment we feel free and like we're flying before real life crashes into it with consequences and we begin to fall once again...

Very little editing was done apart from the action and a couple of textures.
