The great final project...a self promotion!

Yes it IS better than Mac

Randomness

Well, this is simply paint on a white texture that I liquified to make it seem abstract.  Easy, but it's much harder than you think to liquify paint to look nice like this.

OMGNINJA

This picture was me attempting to make myself a ninja.  The Black and white background and big eyes were an afterthought to make the picture look better.  I took a picture of me and then only used the area around the eyes to put in the ninja costume.  The eyes add a slight bit of comic relief in my opinion. Overall fun.

An attempt at Archimbaldo

This started off with a portrait of a random dude, which was my base structure for placement.  Admittedly, hair was tough to find, until I found scallions, and the suit is actually a very large butternut squash.  I only wanted to use vegetables, which is why he looks slightly goofy.  Fun project I guess, but maybe we could extend the idea by using a theme instead of having to stick to archimbaldo's standard.

I see a sea...

This originally was an idea to use a wave stencil and six sea animals, (In order from left to right, top to bottom) I used a shark, an eel, a swordfish, a dolphin, a crab, and a stingray.  Unfortunately, mysterious file deletion debilitated me, so i could not enlarge or move all the "waves" to where i wanted them to be.  I was able to salvage it so it somewhat seems to be a rainbow, but it's a very questionable rainbow also.  This would look much better if my files weren't deleted but I feel that it's ok overall.

A Storm's brewin...

Took the idea of phones and added it with a cool thunder bolt design.  Figured a thunderstorm would go well with it as it was a great excuse to make the background work with the picture elements themselves.  The dark cloud at the top was an after thought to give more of a storm feel.
