20170718: New Toy! Graphic creative Fun!

OK, this is just to show what kind of silly “Far Out Design” abilities I have here.

A simple logo of elements or a a special wreath of some design is all possible.

I just got this and was playing around last night, I have 1000s of elements to use, or can create to use my own “special elements” in this program.

Several setting of how many times the pieces are copied around the circle too so while this is 6 sided, 4 or just 2 is possible .

Woman and rain shower

And yes, they can be transparently added to other images.

sorry I just happen to love the overall of this image… the idea of adding some words in the banners is just too obvious to me & the fun of these flowers in this arrangement, well I am a nature & landscape photographer!

20170422: What to do to Increase Creative Abilities…

The other day I was asked a question, “What can I do to increase my Creative abilities?”

A little while later, someone else asked a similar question, “My creativity is at ZERO. What can I do about it?”

This list is the answer.

In 59 years of life I have never run out of Creative Juice, sure I can be stumped as to what to do. Or the pen sitting not moving in my hands. The keyboard motionless & quiet under my hands….

But I always follow these rules and have found and answer!

Cameras, canvases, paper, inventions, problems in business, every time words, paintings, drawing, photographs & even silly posters are all born from these simple rules!

Enjoy and have fun doing that Creative whatever You Like to Do!

20170417: ANTIWAR Poster, 45 years of antiwar… still no logic in war!

Knowledge poem 3 pages

1976, wrote the poem, it was about the idea of the PUBLIC MASSES wanting “BREAD & CIRCUSES” to be entertained. They did not want to think about the world as a whole…

Top of page, yeah, I have been put in prison for talking of TRUTH, I carry a broken shoulder for speaking out against USA corruption.

The Middle East, a constant war for 35 years…. Olie North & Pres. Reagan & Bush Sr. creating the Al Qaeda, just to keep USA Public wanting war…. 1999, I read of the Haliburton/Bush/1% Elite Rich creating the “Never Ending War with a Terrorist attack of a huge size so the USA citizens would RUN TO WAR” 2 years before the 2001 9/11 attack…

The final comments unfortunately are not so well understood, FUKUSHIMA is killing all life…. there is only about 10 years left. 1975, I did a report on the nuclear industry, I came to the understanding that a major environmental disaster WOULD HAPPEN, too much corruption, too much USA government getting monies for underhanded deals & looking the other way at the nuclear pollution….

Yet the planet in a 100 MILLION YEARS or more, will be ready for new forms to come into existence… I personal hope that the humans will not return in as stupid a arrogant manner. If at all.

AND KEEP IN MIND, 1983 I tried to get the human race to see a different view, BY CREATING the International Space Station….

20170413: Opps, too much fun again Flowers….

OK, so like there are way too many beautiful women in this town.

But only one speaks English to me & still smiles while doing so.

Monica, the waitress, owners younger daughter, wants to go to USA. So she speaks nicely to me most days & is quite cute as well.

Moneeca is the Spanish pronouncing of her name & my spelling. Dyslexic I prefer to see a word in the pronounced version for me to say it right… So I created this spelling of her name. She knows I use it & has not slapped me, and of course vocalized makes not any difference to anyone.

With the TRUMPed starting WAR, WW3 for all concerned… USA is a Fascism country and she knows that the dream of going there has falling in the trashcan.

I kind of wanted to offer some Peace to the world and being way to old & tired of the game women play, to care about giving flowers to women but seeing Moneeca who would have been chased around town by a much younger me, on a near daily basis…

this poster got made last night…

Not sure she will get to see it. Would not want to embarrass her in front of friends, Family, neighbors.

But heck I had fun with this design!

20170404: Playing like a youngster… Grunge effect.

OK, so people photography is boring to me & all that.

However, I was asked to do some work for a young man & given the image he sent me and the request of turning it into line art.

I sent him back these 2 images… to consider for his posters for sales in his shop.

I did not listen to this man’s music, the image was kind of there in & of it’s self. A musician , a photo that I guess a lot of young people know….

So the Grunge effects, the twisting turning it into some art of his flavor…

Waiting to see what the client thinks.

An old dog that knows a few tricks, an artist that never stops learning, that is me, not in any box because I just ever fit in one.
