i love art: digital graphics

Written by

I'm a self-taught photoshop artist. I love manipulating graphics. I have several ongoing assignments to maintain websites, design logos and print ads, and from time to time just give myself a project to do so I keep my skills up and try to discover new ways to use the platform. I love making brushes and figuring out how to adjust layers – can you believe it took me several years before I even knew how to use layers? Working in a digital format is a practice that also informs some of my non-digital art. I have a few versions of PS but always end up defaulting to 5.5. I know, I'm a dinosaur. But it works for me, and I love it! Here are some of my pieces….

You’re the best at this. It’s on thing to know how to use photoshop….but a totally different ball game to be able to combine all of these images!

I, too, love Photoshop, but I mostly just use it to alter photos. I’m inspired to see what you’ve done here — and I ADORE the Marie Antoinette “what if.”

Self taught?! Oh, wow. Yes, I can believe it took years to master layers. I just fumble around. It’s fun though. One must take the time to do it.
That first images just knocks me out. And all the others. Basically, you have a singular voice and a unique look.

If you’re a dinosaur, then I’m primordial! I haven’t even figured out how to use PhotoShop at all! I do love your graphics. Especially those Shakespeare ones. *sigh* Have you considered selling prints? I feel like I may have asked that before, but I don’t remember…
