My Mad Photoshop Skills

Okay, I've got no "mad Photoshop skills," but I'm getting better.

It's hard to tell, but I took my cat castle drawing from yesterday and used the top to create the new blog title. The sky didn't go that far to the right, so I had to extend it by using other pieces of sky and blending them together. Pretty cool, eh? Well, I've never done it before.

My other mad skills... I took yesterday's castle drawing, which was just a tad too big to fit on my scanner. I scanned the bottom and top and and photomerged them on Photoshop. Yeah. Crazy stuff. Check it out.

Now if you were thinking of buying this, you might ask yourself, "What would this look like framed?"

Buh-Bam!

"What about a thicker black frame?"

Che-Pow!

"Okay, but what about a gold frame?"

Clickety-ker-pow-pow!

"Well that's cool and all, but what would it actually look like in my kid's room?"

 

Makes you want to buy it, doesn't it? Maybe? Just a little? Well, check out my Etsy page sometime anyway. I'm trying to bring it back to life.

My mad Photoshop skills are due in part to the hilarious tutorials, "You suck at Photoshop," by Donnie Hoyle. You'll have a laugh and learn a little too.

I crapped my pants today...

Etsy is a wonderful thing. Way back in the middle of July I opened up my own shop. I posted 10 very different works at varying prices and prepared to make my millions. Didn't quite happen that way. Nothing moved. I didn't tell my family, except my wife, or my Blogging family. I didn't want any charity buys. I wanted to sell to someone I didn't know. About a month ago I pretty much gave up. At least stopped checking it three times a day to see if anything sold.

I came home today and low and behold, my first buyer. I have never sold my artwork before. Just given it away and hoped people liked it. It is an amazing feeling. I am reenergized. Reinvigorated. Renewed.

If you're out there Charles, thanks.
