oh noes, Scrat did it again

The theme for this contest was to take any cartoon character, from any source, and mix them into a real-world setting. I picked Scrat because he is my fav cartoon character, since the Nutty Squirrel! I didn’t win, but its good practice. Someday maybe I will, I’ll just have to keep trying.

fruit hybrid

This contest was to take 2 or more fruits to create an hybrid. Here is an avocado crossed with a pear, and a broccoli. Have you ever dreamed of transgenic salsa? It might be good with tortilla chips (made of transgenic corn of course)

six degrees of MJ

I entered my first contest with worth1000.com. The theme was untitled “six degrees of Michael Jackson, MJ everywhere you look. It was fun to do, and even though I could have used a more recent picture to accentuate the similarity with the nose, I decided not to.

Ely’s Garden

The original picture was taken in a hotel room. I removed the environment and merged it with a photo stock from deviantart. I added the dragonfly and butterfly,and changed the mood of the picture to make it a bit more dramatic.

retro

Roberta went to a 60s costume party and she gave me one of her picture to do some artwork. She wanted to be in a surrounding that matched her style, and I thought it would look great as a retro poster.

Montage

This picture was made using 4 different stock images I found in Deviant Art: the sky, sea, bird, lady and rock. I used brushes for the ray of light, tree and birds in the horizon.

Vintage worlds

The original picture was taken by a tree on a grey gloomy morning. It was part of a serie of photos that a friend of mine took for his modeling portfolio. This one came out as he was testing his camera, but I asked him to keep it aside because I liked the pose, and I thought I could do something interesting with it.

Veronica gave me her picture to work with. The original photo is Vero sitting on a step in front of a door , somewhere in Germany., I think . I turned it into a vintage forest with soap bubbles.

first contest

I recently took part in my first online contest with gizmodo.com. The theme was to take classic album and insert any kind of technology that didn’t exist at the time. I picked Van Halen 1984, and traded the cigarettes for an ipod. I was happy with the result, and even though I didn’t win, my picture made the list of the 50 best ones. Not too bad for a first!

be careful what you ask for

My sister wanted to be pictured with her fav artist, R. Kelly. Well, she had no idea what she was getting herself into when she asked me to make her wish come true.. be careful what you ask for! I want to thank her for that opportunity because I had the time of my life with this one
