My cousin, Frank, again, who acts under the name Frank Aard. This time, his new haircut and his bowler hat, from his ridiculously large hat collection, suggested a quick Stan Laurel impression. We didn't play with it to the extent we could have, but it did fuel some digital tweaking, once I got it into Adobe's Photoshop CS2. Layers, layers and More layers... then I'm possessed, eh?
I grew special chilis now, if it is too hot just press the emergency button. :D

Some promo work for a musical duo 'Fusion'. Sarah and Steve can cater for pretty much all musical tastes, so we are working on a 'gritty' rock music theme and also on a more gentle generic look.
This is one of the first samples out of the gate. As ever shot on neutral grey and composited into this Daz Studio background.
You can see the before and after comparisons HERE

Einstein 640 in 5' Octabox camera right just above head height as key light.
AB800 and AB1600 in brollies to subjects left and right for a little separation light
A vintage 'flapper' style image modelled on the gangsters of the 20's and 30's.
My model Sarah-Jane is shot against a neutral grey background and composited into the scene.
All backgrounds are themselves composites of various elements to create a 'hopefully' dramatic theatrical quality. The background here was an old mansion near me that is open to the public.

G'day.
As you know, Australia has large uranium reserves.
From the earliest times exposure to nuclear radiation has resulted in the creation of all kinds of mutant megafauna. From the 400 pound feral drop-bear to the 150 foot long greater great white shark these humungous horrors have proved a considerable obstacle to progress in Australia.
Before colonial occupation in the 18th century it was established that the only practical way to protect citizens from marauding B.B.Bs (Bloody Big Beasties) was to construct wrought iron framed, reinforced glass domes over all population centres.
Later, of course, as heavy industrialisation developed, it became possible for well armed vermin control expeditions to leave the safe harbours of the cities in steam powered, armoured land ironclads. Hydraulic powered gatling guns, Greek Fire throwers and rotating batteries of auto-fly swats were used to reduce the numbers of the ponderous pests.
As often happens, once the immediate pressure of everyday danger had passed, standards loosened, city watches were relaxed, and the domes were allowed to fall into disrepair.
Inevitably, on the 12th of October, 1894, a wandering V.L.A (Very Large Arachnid) breached the City Of Melbourne's ill-maintained dome and, ironically, succeeded in consuming the entire City Council (Including the slack-arsed dome maintenance chief clerk) before being driven off by concentrated field gun fire from the hastily mustered Melba Militia.
You wouldn't read about it for quids!
That's because Her Majesty's Royal Victorian censors at the time thought it best for public order that the entire incident be kept out of print.
The incident was officially de-classified in 1984, allowing surviving documents and photographs to be published for the first time.
Dead rose. Thought I'd have a crack at this effect which I've seen on other people's photostreams. Quite like it, although I was seriously out of my depth among the spaceship controls and slidergizmos of the GIMP.

Author's notes: Whenever Granny and Grandpa would get into a tiff......Grandpa would just quiet down and let Granny rant and rave. He would retreat quietly to prepare for bed. While taking care of his teeth, he would feel a bit of satisfaction, to use Granny's favorite teacup for his needs.
I drove to Ocean City, NJ, the other night to observe and photograph the planting moon which occurs three days after the harvest moon. The ancients thought the moon was an omen as to how good next year's crops would be - the bigger and bluer the moon appeared over the ocean the better the crops. Looks like next year will be a big one. :o)
I thought it might be educational to see what my Red Kelly Manga Batlesuit costume would look like riding a scale Bolo sentient A.I robot tank....which of course feature in Keith Laumer's (and others!) futuristic Science Fiction stories.
This particular Bolo, Unit N.E.D-1880 of the Line, is a Mark XXXX Bolo “Titanus” Stellar Siege Engine assigned to the 1st Armoured Regiment of the Dinochrome Brigade.
He’s 100 metres long and weighs a modest 49,000 metric tonnes sitting on his four wee tracks.
The main gun is a 105 centimetre Hellmouth anti-proton beam. Secondary armament consists of two restricted elevation Hellrail anti-starship rail-guns. Tertiary weapons are four 95 cm independently turreted Hellbore hydrogen plasma cannon. All in all, frightfully Apocalyptic..
Well, I did say I was a fan of Keith Laumer's books!
I keep a larger photograph of the hull badge which I designed in the "Fantastique Badge Cloak" Photoset, on my Flickr page, it's picture 11.
For the composite photo Adrian Maiolli's picture contributed the costume element, a photo which he took of me wearing the costume at a convention. The sky background comes from a piccy I took at the beach one day. Funny, never noticed the two moons!
The planetscape is built out of texture slabs I lifted from a picture I took of a housebrick found in the backyard. Good old NED is tooled up from a picture I took many years ago of a tank I found parked outside the Australian War Memorial in Canberra. Reasonably sure it's an old Centurian Mk5 Main Battle Tank that saw service with the Aussie army in the 1950s,60s and 70s, until they were replaced with Leopard AS1s in the 70s. Vickers would probably be bemused by the upgrade!
Oh....assume I'm wearing seriously magnetic boots. Wouldn't want to fall under those churning tracks!

LeCount Hollow Beach, sometimes called mcGuire's Landing, faces east onto unfettered ocean, so the surf here can be pretty impressive compared to the Cape Cod Bay or Nantucket Sound. It is administered by the Town of Wellfleet rather than the National Seashore, so it is not much affected by the idiocy that's going on in Congress right now. Quite expansive but with a small parking lot, it may not get as crowded as neighboring National Seashore beaches.
But don't be too quick to jump in the water. Look closely at the wave where it is about to crest on the right of the image. A shadow seems to lurk within it. A shark? Perhaps. For the last few summers they have gathered in vast shivers off the Atlantic shore of Cape Cod, to languish in the warming waters there and feast on the seals that colonize the Monomoy Islands. There have been at least two shark bite injuries here in the past few years, though no one has died.
This is a relook at a previous photo which I had actually vandalized even more severely once before. Close observers of the original photo will note the angle of the light on the clouds and on the surf don't align perfectly. That is because I shot the sky over the parking lot at the Stop 'n Shop on an entirely different day and pasted it over the surf way back in the original iteration of this image, and it has lived there ever since.

I very nearly deleted this one as I wasn't convinced it was working. I'd put in couple of hours on it so I thought 'what the heck'. So here you go. Seems like a fairy tale vibe to this one :)

Proud to present the cover art that I created for Silver; a story by author Talia Vance: taliavance.com/books.php#silver
Published by Flux.
The book will be in stores later this year; available from September 2012
I have full permission to show the cover at my profiles; I will show the actual cover with text also pretty soon.
It was a wonderful collaboration with Llewelyn Worldwide, I hope you like the result.
Brianna Paxton has been invisible to guys since the eighth grade. She's pretty enough, it's just that no one bothers to look. There's almost nothing that can't be explained with science, and Brianna has a theory: she's missing the pheromone that attracts people to one another. Brianna's theory is shot to hell in one frozen, silver moment, when time stops and Blake Williams not only sees her, he recognizes something inside her that she's been hiding from even herself.
Before Brianna fully understands who and what she is, she accidentally binds her soul to Blake. Forced to find a way to reconcile forbidden love and her bloody heritage, Brianna discovers that there's nothing pointless about her, and Blake may be in the most danger of all.

This illustration started out as a way to help visualize what the deck on the back of our house is going to look like when it is finally done. It ended up being a piece for an Illustration Friday theme too. Why use 3D software when you can do it all with pixels and Photoshop? Yes, this was done pixel by pixel and then some raster art frames and shadows were added to m ake the piece look a bit nostalgic and antique.
