Me breaking the laws (of physics hehe)


I tried a couple different things for this frame project because I was REALLY excited about it.


 The idea was for me to climb into a trash can, and that was about it. I take any oppurntunity I can to climb in a trashcan with minimized judgement. In this version of the project I kept the trashcan as part of the image, so I'm kinda like Oscar the Grouch of this art gallery.

But I also wanted to try a version where I was popping out of a painting in teh art gallery, so I removed the trashcan and my shadow and put it on top of a Pollock. I used to the transform tool to line up the images. There are very unrealistic proportions in this version but I think that just adds to it's absurdity.
This was actually my original idea, and it was super easy. All I had to do was crop out the inside of the frame and then put a layer of water underneath the image.
This project was c00l as beans. <3

Just think about how uncomfortable this would be.

This one started out with a risque picture of a girl licking her lips and a picture of a frog. Then we took the next logical step in any sane mind and put the frog inside her mouth. The magical wand was awesome because I didn't have to do any work at all to select the frog. I attempted to transform it so it was picking risque girls nose but wasn't entirely successful. Using the stamp tool I covered the entire frog with gross tongue texture, which actually gave me the idea that you could easily add pimples to a face using the stamp and a tongue. I ended up messing up a few hundred thousand times because of stupid layers. Layers are STUPID. [sorry layers; I really do understand your important purpose but you're very frustrating.] This taught me how to use the history tab as there were quite a few unnoticed mistakes during this project. [I BLAME LAYERS.] The drop shadow gave it some depth but to me the frog-tongue-thing still seems flat. Finally I used the burn and dodge tools to highlight/shadow the tongue.

Who ever thought of this project was seriously disturbed. They should seek help.

What if you were eating your pancakes and then they ate you.

Watch out, THIS IS ONE ANGRY PANCAKE. He is mad because someone poured syrup all over him and he HATES to be sticky.

The first part of editing this photo involved using the liquify tool to make a pancake hole which was a challenge because I wasn't sure what shape and size to make the pancake hole. I like to say pancake hole. Once I overlayed the mouth I decreased it's opacity to that it blended better with the pancake hole. Also to help with blending, I manipulated the saturation levels. After all that was done I turned his blueberries into eyes using a couple macro images of eyes I found on the internet, then increased saturation to make them appear blood-shot. I hate how the butter is all distorted by squish. Lets hope no one notices.

I would not eat these pancakes. They are scary.
