Image manipulation & vintage postcard

Oops! I have not blogged for such a long time! It has been a long, long hiatus. The internet as much as it is a great tool - it can also be a distraction - so I decided to take a break. I am hoping to post new work here within the next few weeks - I am frantically trying to finish some outstanding art, with the intention of moving forward with other ideas.

The first image is a quick image manipulation taken from a vintage photograph - it is really an exercise in hand colouring using photoshop. The second image is of a very simple, yet appealing vintage postcard.

Vintage Finds.....

This post is short! Just to say wishing one and all a wonderful Christmas.....

Just to say hello.....

I have not posted new work for sometime! Here are just a few things I have decided to share with you. One of my favourite unmanipuated images and a vintage photograph. I am working on a couple of new images at the moment - I promise to finish them soon....

Bunting - Falmouth, Cornwall, United Kingdom

At the moment - I am experimenting with new types of collage, ie. square format and using photographs I have taken with my new camera which is a Nikon D80 DSLR. I have to say I am not finding it easy to use! I am sure with lots of practice I will get used to it!

New Image - First with my new camera

I have had a new Nikon D80 for a couple of weeks now - I have never used a digital slr before - I used to be strictly a medium format devotee - due to lack of processing facilities and the cost of processing I thought it time move onto an DSLR.

Here is a first photograph taken with the nikon! I have tweaked it in photoshop a little bit...

Waiting (Pink)

Just to quick post to show you my latest image - it is infact a re-working of an image I produced last year (in green) - I have been asked if I do it in pink and blue... so here is the pink version. I will also do a blue version very soon!

TTV Dog

Just a quick note to show you this cute dog! I don't know what breed he is - he has a nice face.

This is a faux (fake) ttv.

Little Doves

I have finally finished this image and not before time! I have listed it in my Etsy Shop.

I can now offer prints in sizes A3 and A2. I am also offering FREE shipping at the moment. My prints are a real bargin, I believe. The A2 prints are printed using Epson Ultrachrome Archival inks and the paper I use is the very best - Somerset Ehanced Fine Art paper at 225gsm....oops a sales pitch! Not intended!!

I won't say too much about this, suffice to say it is a memorial tree planted in the grounds of the university I attended..... it was a 35mm format I have changed it to a square format - which I believe works better. It also has a magenta colour cast - I decided to leave it.....
