How It Works

Time Slip

A Bit Less Hazy

This is one of my first successful exploits using Adobe Photoshop.
I confess that I have spent nearly as much time ranting against Photoshop as I have using it. For someone who can work wonders with Microsoft Paint it seems deliberately, maniacally counter-intuitive. Lasso tool? History brush?? Dodge tool?!? ("Shall i just give up and go mad now, save you any more trouble?" )
The sketch itself is nothing much, and I almost didn't use it for today until I thought to google "create fog in photoshop." There, I got step-by-step instructions that included something called a Gaussian blur. Through my beginning with an end in mind, some of the program's logic revealed itself. In the end I had enough confidence to tweak a few things outside the realm of the instructions to get certain effects. The experience "shed a little light" on why some people love Photoshop.
I just assume they can't use Paint.

Please Hold

A cliched image for a sadly-too-common experience. I've been waiting on the phone for nearly an hour.

This is the caller just before me. He dialed in 1989.

What He Doesn't See

This is a sketch of a man contemplating his fist*. Beware holding a person inside you where your heart ought to be.

*In lighter thoughts: If he wasn't bare-ass naked, I'd say he was checking his watch.
