HOPE by TYPEWHITER

Altho simple

there is major emotion

behind "Hope".

An Hors d'oeuvre of Pain,

A Main Course of Purging,

with a Side Order of Remorse,

A Salad of Acceptance,

A Palette Cleanser of Forgiveness,

And for Dessert?

"Hope"

ANTI-VALENTINES 2011 Hey It's Still February

"Lucky Loser"

Ok, Ok, 

I know it's no longer Anti-V day.

But I've been busy. 

Learning Photoshop at Night school,

working and swimming, 

there is little time to create.

So if I'm still getting Anti-V ideas,

well, I'm going with it.

Here is another featuring Rene Lacoste.
The title is a real tennis term. 
google it. It's true. 
teehee.

ANTI-VALENTINES REVISITED

Just for fun

I'm going to post 

Anti-Valentines from past years.

Cuz, well, I haven't had time to create.

My first Photoshop class was last night.

I am HOOKED. Gone. Done. In Love. 

We spent an hour learning "selections". 

Old, tired after a day at work, selections

are not so easy. 

Keyboard Commands!! Who Knew!!

Hope you like the previously posted Anti-V's!

I'll post more oldies but goodies friday.

I'm off to practice selections.

MORE ANTI-VALENTINES 2011

Broken At Love  

Anti-Valentine

This was so fun to make!! I adhered a vintage pic of Rene Lacoste taken from Vogue magazine

onto an image of a famous painting that I am too lazy to find the info on, spray inks, purell transfers,

transparency image, stabilo pencils, white gel pen, rub-ons. 
"Broken at Love" is a real tennis term also, which I think is like, super cool, dude.

ANTI-VALENTINES 2011

First Batch!!

 "The Horror" 

is a Purell transfer 

using Apollo 7039 transparency 

and an ink-jet printer. ATC substrate

is Illustration board which takes the transfer like a dream.I added a little color on the lady's face with my new Pan Pastels and pencil. I messed up the other side of the ATC so I cut around it and mounted it on top of a piece of last years homemade Anti-V paper, "Blood Streaked". cool, right?    

"Extreme Measures" also uses the Illustration

board/purell/ink-jet transfer recipe. Pan pastels for color and a rub-on and eyelet. The dymo words do not want to stick to the Pan Pastels. Crap with a Capital C. I love my Dymo. 

"Louise" has as a substrate altered baby wipe adhered to a baseball card. The wipe is altered with watered down acrylic paints and alcohol inks. Transparency pic of Louise glued down (actually a leftover transp from a failed transfer), a bit of sequin waste and some silly brads and flowers as embellishment. And as you can see the damn words are lifting here too.

More to come.....
