Hi guys,

I know it's been a while, but I've been so damn busy!  I started a new job, which is going great (thanks for asking!) but I find myself sleeping a lot more during the day, since it's a night time job..

So anyway, I found some time to scratch myself yesterday, so I had a play around with this for my best friend, Heidi.. 

As you all know, Twitter has been a pain in my rear end, so I decided to make art which depicted how I feel about it.. I will admit that the idea was not my own.. @hungryvampire, @simplyamz and @aimleslydreamin gave me the idea after their bitching and moaning :P love you girls ;)

So without further ado - see below ;) It is actually a live working webpage with a live working twitter feed.. this is just a screen dump of it.. pardon the pun.

This video is totally non photoshop related, but it floored me nontheless, so I figured it was more than worth sharing.

BEYOND amazing. I wish I had the same attitude and gumption as this chick.

So does everyone like my new header? I created it by following a tutorial from here..

So now, its my new header! Enjoy!

Last time I posted here was the start of Feb, so I figured it would probably be a good idea to show you some of the stuff that I've been working on lately!

I made this awesome canvas for my daughters bedroom.. I'll have it printed and put it on the wall.

It started as a blue gradient, with some grass.. then I added the buildings, changed perspectives and blurred them a little to help with the depth of field, and added the road, the city, gutters, lamp posts, etc.. and of course, the car and butterflies..
So, leave some comment love and tell me what you think!



I also made this fantabulous Alice in Wonderland 'Jabberwocky' wall paper.. I just love the Mad Hatter and thought that an image of him would make a great manip.. so I made this.. It was inspired by a friends dh, who loves the poem.. :P If you're after a copy that you can use as a wallpaper, (larger image) leave me some comment love and I will forward it on to you!

Recently I saw the movie 'Invictus' with Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman. Until then I had never heard the poem that inspired Nelson Mandela, the man behind so many major decisions. The two lines at the end of the poem really struck a cord with me.

"I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul."

So, like I always do with things that inspire me, I decided to use it as, well.... inspiration!

So I made this.



I used a combinations of brushes, motion blurs, and layer effects to create this.

Morning/Afternoon/Evening ladies/gents :)

So, ive been playing around with some tutorials lately, because I get sidetracked easily.. ;) So I decided to make a 'modern wizard'.. you can find the tutorial here.

It didn't take me as long as I thought it would, and i learnt some really cool new techniques for cutting around 'fly-away hair' that worked well.. so this beauty is my new wallpaper on my computer :P

Sorry! I cant ALWAYS do celebs and stuff :P

I also wanted to give a quick shout out to these guys --> Textures Library. I downloaded a shite-load of new textures and patterns and stuff from them to add to photoshop, and you know what? The best part is - they're ALL FREE! So go grab them.. and I have to mention that I didnt find these all on my own :P HV found them for me :)

So without further ado - here is my Modern Wizard..

It started off like this -->

And ended up like this -->
