Bound

MCN: CWYTH-CRJXA-7982P

One of four images. I'll upload the other 3 over the next few days.

No one was hurt during the taking of these images. :-) The rope was loose and all the effects (including the barcode) were added in Photoshop.

Although it's a 'scary' picture with all it implies, to me it also has a strange beauty. In a way reconising you are bound is the first step to freedom. The barcode is to indicate how much we are bound nowadays by brands and labels (not just the marketing kind either). We all seem to be held fast by the labels people attach to us to make it easier to put us into a drawer and forget about us.

All images my own or stock. Edited in Photoshop.

Book Cover: Foretell Part II of the Wanderlove Series

Here's the cover I worked on at the beginning of the year. The book is coming out in June. Read more about it on Belle's blog and see a write up on the book hookup.

The cover is based on one of my original mock covers - Pure Love available as a print or iPhone case on Redbubble.

I am available for customised book cover designs for Blurb, Create Space, Lulu, Kindle etc. Please contact me for details.

Ripples

MCN: CA93Q-UDG8H-JXMNA 

Part of my new series of images for licensing on Arcangel-Images - use this code: SYST-0210 

In this image I tried to re-create the 'Natural Mirror' shot I did with my Hiptstamatic camera, it's not quite the same, but it comes close. I used two shots of puddles with reflections and ripples and overlaid them plus textures and colour adjustments.
It is also part of my 1/52 project, week 17.

There's something therapeutic about looking into a puddle and seeing the reflection in it change. I always imagine it to be a crack between (alternative) universes where I can catch a glimpse of what's happening over there....

Created with my own photographs in Photoshop, no stock used.

All my licensing images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go to Bluecanvas).
