Here are some more photos of when my friends came over. I took them into photoshop and did the same treatment on them as my final photos. I tried to pick cool pictures… Let me know what you think.

that my friends helped me out with over the weekend. I took about 300 shots or more. I overexposed them all so that I could get a weird effect. Note that I am not good at photography to begin with. In fact I’m downright awful.

Originally I would have liked to use filters and mess with the photos during the developing processes to make them look more weathered and a bit surreal… I didn’t know how to do that, nor could I as these were digital pictures… not film. So here are the final three I chose, and with them are the photoshopped versions of the images with what I envisioned in my mind how they SHOULD look (if I knew how to do it during the actually photographing process).

And love is in the air. Okay not really. More like in my work.

Roughly 6 months after I first dreamt up Lovestruck and produced a [awful] silkscreen of it, I brought it back my drawing board and worked it over in Illustrator. What’s nice is that I will have much more accurate lines instead of a hand drawn stencil on acetate.

Now I have to decide how to proceed? Linocut or Lithograph??

I have also posted an Alchemy request on Etsy.com for a tattoo design. If you think you’ve got what it takes to make me want to put your work permanently on my skin… go check it out and bid!

Some of you may or may not care, but I will be offering some Art Cards for both sale and trade. The first three of my available cards will be based on these three prints:

• Barong I – a nice black and white design that could appeal to many.
• Untitled and Alone – a slightly creepier piece that seemed to be well received.
• Chaotic Paradise – a personal favorite of mine.

There will be 15 of each of these cards. Some I will only sell, others I will be willing to trade, but the numbers are TBD.

On a side note. If you don’t know what Art Cards are but you love to collect and look at all kinds of artwork, I highly recommend you check the subject out. It’s a great concept!
