Fugly Fibreglass

Wed, 2012/04/25 - 8:43pm

So the latest fugly fibreglass abominations have begun to appear around town and I want to understand this progression: Whales -> Bears -> Eagles -> Chinese People.

O.K., sure they copies of the terracotta warriors, but really what is the relevance of a fibreglass copy of a clay funerary statue of a 3rd century B.C. imperial Chinese soldier?


Of Photoshop and Dresses

Tue, 2011/01/18 - 11:11am

A good job in Photoshop is like a great dress. If a woman is wearing a great dress people will think, "What a beautiful woman" when she walks in the room and not even notice the dress. A mediocre dress overpowers the woman. Likewise, with good work in Photoshop, people will only notice the beauty of the image and never realize what was done to get it there.

Another Gothified Mucha

Sun, 2008/12/07 - 11:02pm



Another "Gothified" Mucha for Gothic BC. This one was considerably more work than the first one since the source image was a very small, very heavily compressed JPEG. The original I started with was a little smaller than this and the finished product is four times larger than this. In order to deal with the nasty compression artifacts the entire image was essentially redrawn / repainted.

I'll be putting this on some Zazzle gear tomorrow evening and maybe offering up a version without the logo for prints.
