Visions Of Summer

I live in Australia and when I designed this piece the colours of the Australian summer and landscape came out in my use of the palette. I designed it in late 2005 at NSW TAFE, but I changed it today and added a few extra details. Is art ever really finished ?

    Fantastic Comment Michelle, hahaha ! Gotta love the old RB ! A highly inspirational place to gravitate to on the web, for sure. So much energy and talent to witness and fuel our creative impulses ! I haven’t been making anything sometimes, just gawking at other people’s amazing stuff way too much..

    Stunning ! Such great imagery of our beautiful, blazing summers. I was an expat, from chilly Britain ..(was, as now a Aussie citizen) and when I first came here, it was the strong colours that wowed me – amongst a thousand other things.

    I’ve seen some absolutely beautiful and incredibly interesting and mystical places in Great Britain. Only on the TV, DVD’s etc, not in person. It may rain a lot over there but those Castles, old mining towns, Roman and Celtic ruins and a million other things are simply amazing.

    But I live here because I love Australia, like you do now ! Thanks very much for your great, thoughtful comment. ( Your avatar should be bigger so we can see your smile better ! )

    this should probably be a tshirt dude.

  • reflector replied

    Funny you should say that – there are a few photo-montages too that could be made into T-Shirts as well. I have been thinking that way for the last couple of days.

    ive ONLY sold tshirts.
    but ive had more view on me pics.

  • reflector replied

    Nobody ever told me that – the perfect info for a marketer. Image resolution is a problem for me, but if I put two images from a small series side by side and then reduce that a bit I should have the resolution issue fully sorted out.
    Cheers !

    dude i dont think that far.
    if it looks good on teh template thats enuf for me!
    like that incredibly repressive and evil shoe company says “just do it”.

  • reflector

    I’ll open the Template and see if it all makes perfect sense. Hopefully I can just use my current image sizes with no extra work needed.

    Thanks very much ! I am not Aboriginal, but if I added Black to these colours it would have all the colours that represent their traditional colours.

    Thanks a lot MT ! That edit you did in the booth looks bizarre, I need to have another look to see whats happening in the montage behind the card. :)

  • reflector replied

    Thanks v.much Dinghy ! I thought MT made a trippy montage at first, then I realized that it was a straight photo. He bought it a few months ago – it was my first sale.
