Build Your Wings

For my friend Denis - I hope your dream comes true sooner rather than later.

Magpie wing vector graphic drawn by me, textures added in Photoshop. I love feathers and wings. This was going to be a logo, but it's too detailed and, I think, too pretty to use just as a logo.

The Woods at Night

A little magic on a grey day. This was another experiment. Vector graphics aren't my thing normally, but I thought sometimes it's good to do something outside your comfort zone. This was inspired by the opening screen for Once Upon a Time and then it turned into something else and I think there's more where this came from. I have already started on "The Woods at Sunset". 

I started off with vector graphics for the trees (drawn in Photshop and edited in Illustrator), then I took them back into Photoshop and added colours, textures, the water for the little fish to swim in and the fish themselves. The fish are vintage images which I cut out (digitally) and added into the image. Then I played around with it to add all the magic. ;-)

Over the Hill and Far Away

Image taken at Orford Castle in England. I loved the magic hills around the castle, unfortunately the rabbits didn't come out to play... I edited it with my own resources to give it this fantastical feeling, a place where the sun always shines and magic is just around the corner or maybe over the hill...

La Mer - Or the Power of the Imagination - Photo Manipulation

La Mer or the Power of the Imagination

Another diptych, this time both images have been created by me.

When you are a child there's something so malleable about reality. It's not just what you see, but also what you can imagine, and just as you imagine it, sometimes it becomes real, even if it's just for a game of make-believe. How much better does it get?
