I combined two of my hobbies with this post. Here's a pic of a balsa wood airplane that I made, took a picture of, then played with it in Photoshop. Flying one of these would be a blast. I hope that my pilot gets the plane home before the balsa wood and tissue paper falls apart in all that rain!
I tried posting this over on the right side where the original is but for some reason an animation will not run over in that column. Probably can't resize it. I,ll post it here anyway. :-)
I was going through some files today and ran across this old signature I made. I didn't use this because of how the name blended in to much with the background. But I still like the general looks of it.
I've always had a fascination for japanese gardens. I ran across these icons and just had to build these image tags. I built the buttons from pics of bamboo that I found on the net.
I made this for my favorite forum. They installed a new theme for the joint and needed a main header for it. With help from my sister (it's nice to be related to a pro!) this is what I came up with.
When I was a little younger I was pretty heavy into rappelling. So when I ran across this picture of the mountain, naturally making a Signature set came to mind. Might not of been to good of an idea though as now I have the bug to go jump off a cliff!....
This is an animated gif I made for welcoming new members to the forum I belong to. Adobe Photoshop is the best program for making animated gifs that I've found so far. Once you figure out how the layer/frame relation works.GIF Animator is another good program.
I created this blog to post the stuff I'm working on so my family can see what I'm doing.
I'm obviously not a professional artist. I'm a truck driver, carpenter. I taught myself what little I do know. I just enjoy piddling on the computer building little graphic goodies, or doodads. When I get really stumped I'm lucky enough to have a sister that is a pro in the field, but I try not to bug her to much.
I use other artists icons, etc to build my goodies. I build the basic buttons and stuff like that & add effects to the art. The original might be altered to suit my needs. What ever graphic art type stuff I do is able to end up posted on these pages. I tend to go off in different directions quite frequently.
Everything you get here you are free to use, alter or give to other people. Thanx for coming, and I hope you enjoy what is here.
