One more January entry:
I saw the word “sunflower” in this work, and the colors in the previous one, and thought:
Here’s the original poem. That whole card is… pretty amazing stuff. Especially gun-toting Cupid who can’t figure out what his dominate hand is:
Digital decollage. I made a layer of typefaces, using brush-setting erasers to “peel back” portions of them at the edges of the scraps. Then I put a “painting” over them and “peeled” that, too. Fun experiment:
I’ve used erasers like this before on occasion, but never on an entire pic.
The mushrooms used to be the base of a dessert dish. Thought of making them the stars, but then I really got into the “figure painting” part. So fun, and it did better on that other site than I expected. I guess I could bring out the brushes more in the future.
YOUR ART IS SO. DARN. COOL!!!
Awww… thanks.
Are you working on anything right now? I like your pics a lot, too.
I’ve been back to making pictures for almost seven years now, after seven years of lying fallow. I feel like I’m just beginning to unlock all the things that Photoshop can do.
Here’s the new one I just finished on Friday. (My eyes may never uncross again)
First of March is completed.
I keep doing these Cornell homages because I have no sense.
Oh, now that rocks!! I need to do more collages, for sure.
And thank you so much!!! Here’s something I did about a week or so ago:
Ooohh… Mysterious. Are these your own characters?
Now I have some questions ! Where are those two headed? Is that a morel ?! Are they planning on putting it on a pizza, or are they more the Steak Diane types?
Thank you!!! And yeah! My thought process was bascially, “What if…a coyote and a black bear go. Mushroom hunting. In the night. Yes.” XD
It sure is!!! The coyote is teaching the bear about mushroom foraging! That’s kinda what I had in mind. Funnily, the bear is like the coyote’s sidekick. I think they’re some kind of a mischievous duo!
People have literally come to blows over expensive/desirable shrooms in the wild so yeah… Maybe this IS the kind of help you need in your corner to make it big in Mycology.
When your competition is a team of truffle hunting dogs specially bred, you have to improvise!
oooh I especially like the TV dinner one, very dynamic
Yay! Thanks. I’ve had those sitting in the clip file for eons, and this is the first time I’ve used them.
I remember eating those when my Uncle babysat me when I was a young lad. It was during the original run of the V mini series. Still vividly remember my uncle’s reaction to the lady eating the hamster!
