How to add texture to an image
Okay, so I’ve been thinking about this for awhile and finally decided to write up a little ‘mini’ tutorial for applying layers to photos. This is by No means the Only way to do it, I’m sure there are better and faster ways, but this is what works for me.
These instructions can be used for many versions of photoshop, as of right now, I use CS3 and am working on getting CS4 soon. Note that thi…
The bad news and the good news...
So a few days ago I did an update (which I never do) on my computer and when it restarted, it crashed! Does NOT recognize my Windows at all. Basically, I lost everything on my hard drive. But there is good news to all of this, I have all my important documents saved to my external hd, thank God. I’m still pissed and I called Dell to try and give me a Little help and since my warranty is up, the…
Featured on a book cover!
I was contacted a couple months ago by an author that was asking to use one of my textures (I create them and offer them free for use, with attribution of course) for the cover of his new book. SO, I just got the copy in the mail yesterday, it just became available for sale this month.
This is an excellent book and the author (Matt Bell) has an interesting way of describing his characters. ...
Sold at Gallery!
It sold. I’m so excited right now, I barely have words to speak. One of my pictures was in a gallery auction last week and I honestly didn’t expect much but against my expectations, it did.
The bidding started at $50 and ended at $220! This is my first Real sale, the only part that killed me was that I wasn’t able to attend the gallery due to work, but I got feedback from my friend so that …
Finally...
Finally…
I’m going back to school, except this time, it’s for photography. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to get my butt motivated, but something’s come alive in me and I feel like now’s the time. I’m actually more excited than nervous and am looking forward to it. I start in January. It’s been 5 years since I’ve been in school (college at least), everyone always thinks I’m younger…

Risk
Musings…
Hmmm, lets call it- confessions of an adrenaline junkie.
It is an addiction, you know that feeling when you get off a rollercoaster and just Have to get back on…yea.
Doing something sneaky, stealing…the threat of getting caught, knowing at any minute someone might catch you in the act-whatever that might be.
Hanging over the edge of a railing-of a bridge, by just your l…

Dog meets memory card
So one of my dogs found and destroyed my memory card…which happened to have over 1,000 pictures on it, most of which I hadn’t even uploaded yet! I know it’s partly my fault for leaving it sitting out…on a desk… apparently not high enough where he couldn’t get to it and chew up the One Side of the card that could be inserted into a card reader.
I guess I’ll get over it, I didn’t kill th…
Passion and expression
Desire. Driving force. Motivation.
Over the years, I have found (almost) nothing more enjoyable than the desire to create something. Have tried different mediums, always to not be quite satisified with the outcome. Gone from drawing with charcoal, oils, acrylics, watercolor, to even making jewelry, all at the same time trying to self-teach myself, which is Probably the reason it didn’t go too …
