This certainly isn't new information for everyone, but I just realized that every piece of art I create can become a new piece through the magic of the computer. I had already figured out that every image captured with my camera was fair game to design with, but the concept of re-entering art made from camera images back into the computer for artistic transformation has just hit me like a bag of hammers!
For example, let's begin with the following print
recreated to be a compilation of a fun, young couple's engagement photo session using hand-carved stamps and watercolor pencil.
With just a little bit of tweaking in Photoshop it can be transformed into something like this:
And with an addition of one piece of hand-painted paper from my extensive paper stash,
which can also be altered by computer, multiplying my paper stash to truly monumental size,
I am left with a new image..
...which could become countless other images with the a few simple mouse clicks.
The combinations are endless. Yikes! So many choices, if only I enjoyed making virtual messes as much as I enjoy getting my hands messy. Did I mention I really enjoy getting my hands messy?
Ah, the limitations of my tactile and kinesthetic ways.
