Here we go then folks, shows how much work went into this edit.

The secrets?
Beach shot, train tracks, moon and wooden pole things in water are all original shots of mine.
Birds & clouds are brush work. Dolphin, turtle and rocks running along tracks are hopefully stock images.

All comments/tips/ideas....etc are very welcome.

:)

I saw this video the other day and was gobsmacked, its freakin amazing work!

I am not totally convinced that the rocks look right, but it might be just me.
There are actually 4 types of animal in this picture, a point goes to the first person to name it :)

I will definately create some sort of before and after shot as this is actually quite an involved edit, even if it doesnt fully seem it :)

So this evening I have felt a little bummed.
In relation to a simple query into a website host, I came home to discover this message in my inbox:

"really sorry craig but i feel you copy my ideas and style alot, really it upsets me so i dont want you copying my site too"

Now this upset me. Ive never intentionally copied an Artist's work, so I know I've technically not done anything wrong, but part of me was still shocked & upset at these comments. Friends have been very kind to me on facebook offering support on my behalf, and sounds like others have experienced said Artist's nastyness also.

I guess all of the tutorials on youtube about photoshop are copying said Artist too?!

Anyways, here is a simple but effective shot I edited.
Inspired by a thumbnail i saw on youtube, didnt bother watching the tutorial. Worked it out for myself and hopefully pulled it off without treading on peoples toes!

My Flickr has been a little quiet the past few days due to my Pro account expiring, wont renew it until pay day.

But here, have this, it probably will not be viewed by many as cant really add to groups at present, but I gotta keep my few followers fed with yummy edits :)

and YES...I am that weird that I own this balaclava, I saw it on eBay for £3 and my brain just said BUY IT NOW! lol....

All comments always welcome.

Let's burn Hollywood
'Cause Hollywood, Hollywood lied
Let's burn down this angel town
Let's burn Hollywood to the ground
They took all my dreams and all of my things
My family counted on my
And let everyone down
I let you down

Ever drunk this stuff? DAAAAANG it burns the chest hairs right off!!

This photo was inspired by a photo i recently saw on my flickr stream, check it out in the comments.
I saw the pic, and after a few comments with the owner, it reminded me of how it burns as it goes down the throat, which in turn, lead to this photo :D
