Où est la piscine

The worst part of Photoshop, which I guess is a good problem, is deciding what post production direction I'm going to take after I shoot. These old shots (posted above) of my friend Adela are a perfect example of how you can evoke different moods of one single photoshoot with Photoshop. Lately I have been feeling the retro 70's arthouse film look so I redited these pictures.

Below (for the most part) are the original colors from that day.

The Real Raquel

This is Rachel. She reminds me of a Bruised up Andy Warhol and this is New Jersey, where Rachel lives.




Cool song discovery of the day=

Nina

This photograph is of the beautiful Nina a good friend of my mine, the most good looking-est mom I ever met. Besides the contrast adjustments in photoshop this picture is 100% percent unfooled with.



Also Darnellscott.com is where you will find more details on the picture that's posted above, he's a friend of a friend and talented photographer. Darnell actually knows what he's doing, I generally consider myself a rookie who tends to stumble into something nice. Might I also suggest perusing his collection of art to the lovely sounds of passion pit.

"Like Trains & Taxis"

This is my first Band Photoshoot. I did it for a local band "Like Trains and Taxis". It's probably my most blatantly photoshopped picture ever. Any way they're actually good musicians check them out: http://www.myspace.com/liketrainsandtaxis. By the way Russ Mill check him out, he makes amazing art,usually digitally, lots of pretty people and splatters.

Hello New World

Welcome to my inaugural blog, I figured I'd make a site for viewing higher quality images of my work, here I will also provide commentary on my art as well as the art of others and share some of my influences with you. This site is also going to hopefully host a weekly comic strip, from yours truly, very shortly. I have a whole bunch of new art I can't wait to display.
This illustration started out as a piece about hope, it's an expansion of an Idea my good friend max did, I did it in honor of my Uncle Malvin in Nigeria who is HIV positive. It's called "when pigs fly".
