Hi folks and welcome to week 40! This week I have this dark little piece called “The Moon, The Bear and Me”. I made this one for my friend Shelly. You see, Shelly LOVES bears. Not like “Oh cool…bears”. More like a “Can we keep him?” kind of thing so I thought I’d make a […]

Welcome to Week 39! This week I worked mainly with stock images from Maurius Els who has some fantastic stuff. The background and most everything except the fairies are his stuff. This one was loads of fun to create. I worked quite a bit on getting the lighting the way I wanted it. I think

Welcome to Week 38! This was a big one…literally! The image above is scaled down to 25% of the original size just so it can be uploaded. The original size is 55in x 40in and the file size is 2.13GB! Each of the squares with the little girl is a separate Photoshop file. I had

Welcome to week 37 of Project 52! This week I have a fairly simple piece but it will be part of a much larger composite I am working on. The big project should be showing up in the next week or two. Hope you enjoy this little preview!

I got up this morning and knew I needed to get a composite done for Week 36 but had zero ideas. Often, when I have zero ideas, I look at my Flickr stream to see if I can find anything that gives me ideas. The picture I came across was this one. Its a great

If you think that I start with a fully formed idea every time and that’s what comes out, nothing is further from the truth. This is the perfect example. What I started out trying to do was going to be an extremely simple black and white with the only thing being the boat, and a

This is mainly one picture of a building in downtown San Antonio, TX. It was taken in very bright light in broad daylight. I changed out the sky and added the girl on the ledge. The rest was just working in Photoshop to turn day into night and give it a kind of painterly feel.

This is another one I started from a photo taken by my daughter’s friend, Heather Tiffany. She took this on the same trip to Toronto that she took the picture I used in “Heather’s Toronto“. Most of the stuff I got using AI (kids, teddy bears, chess game). The planes and flamingos were mine as

This one was a bit out of my comfort zone. I’ve been looking at the artwork of Billa Bozem who passed away about a year ago. Billa could make things out of parts of other pictures that had nothing to do with what was being created. For instance, she could make a hat out of

I went on a quick trip to the Texas coast this weekend and although I didn’t make it to the beach, I could smell the salt air everywhere. So of course when I got back and wanted to do something about the Gulf. This is a photo I took several years ago on Padre Island,
