Rio 2009
Rio 2009 – as featured in Issue 57 of Advanced Photoshop Magazine! I went head to head with another artist, after being given the same basic model shot to work with. This was the outcome for me! You can see both of our work in this issue, along with a simplified tutorial on how I achieved this look.
The reason this is called “Rio 2009” – is because of my original inspiration. Remember that classic 80’s album by Duran Duran called Rio, with the fantastic Patrick Nagel artwork on the cover? The raven haired beauty with the ‘cherry ice cream smile’ – who looked exotic and edgy, with that supermodel gleam?
Well I wanted to update that picture with a fresh approach. No longer trapped in the graphic art lines of Nagel, Rio has broken free, and is a bit more exotic and fierce now that it is 2009! I love blending cultural styles and colors, and this piece was a real treat to work because of that!
Rio 2009 belongs to the following groups:
Vibrant and Vivid Color Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

So opulent. I love the way you fuse different cultural influences – like the gold detailing has bits that look chinese, some that look indian, then theres some floral ones… and it doesn’t look bitty at all.
I wouldn’t expect any less from you though :D You know your shit when it comes to twiddly bits ;)
Foxfires replied
LOL Thank you so much sweety!!!
I just love it when I get to play with all that exotic cultural stuff that I adore so much. Twiddly bits rock! LOLOL HUGS
