This may be ugly. You are warned!

In my mind photos does not belong here on this blog. Im not a photographer, and Im not planning on becoming one, hehe. But after I got my camera, Ive had ideas that would transfer into this expression, rather than my usual creative techniques. I`ve also played with photo editing, and layered textures to the point where it almost resembles a painting or some kind of digital crossover piece.

This time I specifically had in mind something ugly, that would bring chills down my spine. I don`t have many models hanging around my house, so I used myself. I put white makeup on, so that I would have "a clean canvas" to work on. I had some ideas in mind, but as usual they seem to have a mind of their own.

In the middle of the editing, my program crashed! And I hadn't even saved the sketch! I was so mad, I wanted to throw my computer at the floor! But I took a deep breath and started over. Gah! Annoying, but oh so lovely technology. In the end I became quite freaked out, cause I could not even recognize myself in the pictures. But hey, that was my point!

I did this to challenge myself to think creative in a new way, and to push myself to work digital with photos.
The future is digital you know;)

any thougts?

Wiw, some day last week

I find drawings in my sketch book that I haven't finished yet. so I scan them in and color them digitally. I find it fun, and soothing to play around, add some layers and texture. Not especially challenging, but still I like it:) Everything doesn't have to be a challenge, that's nice!

wiw( what i wore)

For about a month ago I said that I was going to post outfits on my regular blog. Well, it takes some getting used to. I usually end up going out or messing up my outfits before I remember to take a picture of it! But I do remember what I wore, so I drew some! woop woop. So much fun!
