Textures by Sue Zipkin
For those of you who are familiar with my artwork I use a lot of texturing. I have been slowly trying to ease myself into using it with my photography. This is just an experiment.

This is gorgeous! I know you license a lot of your artwork, but you should really think about selling prints of your photography work (unless you do already and I just don't know about it (maybe on ImageKind or somewhere?). This deserves to be framed on a wall!

it's a neat experiment. :) i'm not a huge texture-lover when it comes to photography, but that's because it's so often done (imho :) ) poorly.

but i really like it when it works, and it does here. it's art versus "hey, look what i can do with photoshop". :)
