This was so easy and worked out so well! I started with a soft rubber squeegee applicator and made vertical streaks with liquid acrylics, some transparent and some blue. Then I dabbed in just a few touches of green and magenta with a paper towel. The papers took the paint differently, as I had intended, but the whole thing was a little too bright an
I'm starting another 8x10 piece with a 11x14 canvas background. This time I began by laying down papers. I could have developed a collage simply from here, but that's not what I have in mind. I have a really cool piece of arched lace that I want to be the focus of the finished piece. The next step is painting and unifying the background so that all of what you see no
From Collective-zine - The record's title is simply how long the record lasts. Arches inflict 18 minutes of punishing screamo with the occasional break to recover and play some nice guitar melodies before exploding once more. It's not particularly original but it works well. The band sound a bit like a slightly slowed down version of Jerome's Dream or Dead Seraphim; the vocals are less high pitche
Three of the great triumphal arches which were among Rome's unique contributions to architecture stand today: the Arch of Severus at the west end of the Forum, the Arch of Titus at its eastern end, and the Arch of Constantine beyond it. Strangely enough, little is recorded in ancient literature about these three; more is known of those which have disappeared. The three which remain, however, have
So, you have decided to start getting healthy. You want to drop some weight. You have committed to do better with your eating choices. Yeah you. *wave pom poms wildly*
Change the scenario now. You are in your car. You have had a crazy as hell day. You still have 8 million errands to finish running and your stomach is growling louder than the music blaring from your radio. You are faced with McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell or KFC.

Do you make a weak choice and blow that diet plan? Absolutely not. That’s right. It is possible to take the kiddos to McDonalds and still do right by your diet. You simply have to make the right choices. First, toss the idea of that soda right out

I took this one inside of the Ellis Island building on the top floor. It’s an amazing building if you haven’t seen it before. The ceiling in this place is made up of a bunch of huge tiled arches. I just had to do something with them, so many lines and curves up there. I picked a few spots and started framing and composing in various ways. When all was said and done, this one struck me as the best of the shots. I knew, before I even shot it, that I would be turning these black and white. The tiles had different tones and created various patterns. I wanted to exploit that.
The JPEG straight out of the camera (1) didn’t look too bad, but I processed the RAW file (2) anyways since it is inherently better quality. During the RAW conversion with ACR, I added a little bit of contrast to give me a jump start. Using Adobe Photoshop CS2, I applied a channel mixer at 18% red, 4% green, and 88% blue (3). These settings best brought out the contrasting ton
