Ooops! Here it is late Sunday night and I've just now remembered that the blog is waiting."Dreams of Destruction"
Photomantage
This has elements from a dozen photographs.
This past week I worked on a couple of paintings, but nothing to show here for it. A big part of the week was spent with PhotoShop. I've been working to restore, repair, and clean up old family photos. Kris's wife, Michelle is getting everyone involved in an Internet genealogy site that has me busy trying to find photos of family dating back into the 19th century. Some of those are really tough to fix because many of them weren't very good to begin with and the damage is so extensive I have little to work with. It is an exercise that is teaching me a lot, and perhaps will be a source of future income. PhotoShop is tricky, but everyday I'm more confident and acquire new skills that make the work faster, easier and most importantly... better.
The use of PhotoShop also opens the doors to doing creative composits by borrowing elements from a variety of photos. I've long been a fan of Salvidor Dali's surrealism, but that's just not the way I like to paint. PhotoShop makes possible some pretty incredible surealistic images. This week's images were done this past week, and I hope you like them.
"The Titan"Photomontage
This one seems simpler, but the same number of photographs were need to supply all of the elements.

You know, I looked at the images before I read your post - and the first thing I thought was how much they evoked Salvador Dali. ^_^ I've enjoyed browsing your blog. Thanks!
