Well today is the last day of computer art. I have decided to post most of the projects I have completed for the end of the class. Art is definitely different strokes for different folks and I can't say I am in "love" with all of these but some I like pretty good. Guess for a beginner they aren't too bad. Hope you enjoy.

CD Covers

The assignment was to create three possible covers for a cd we were given. These were the three original creations. The final selection was the bottom one which I changed a bit before it was completed for the assignment. The background is made from brushes I made using the bezels in the Ponce deLeon lighthouse museum and the actual staircase of the lighthouse in Daytona Beach.

Retouching and colorizing old photos takes some practice. Here is my first attempt at working on an old photo of my brother and I at his 3rd birthday...needless to say it has been a few years. The first photo is the original, the second is the colorized version and the bottom one is an illustration. All were part of a project for class.

Word Synergies

Visual Puns

Freezor burn

Truck farm

Water Closet

These are my first attempt at making visual puns with Photoshop.

Brushes from pictures

Three of these brushes were made from pictures taken at Daytona Beach and the lighthouse there. The other two were from around my house and yard.

Tom Waits

I don't wanna grow up

They all go out and drinking all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
Well when I see my parents fight
I donna wanna live in a big old Tomb
On Grand Street
