As you can see they are heavily edited in Photoshop to try and get a cartoon like feel to them or something. I was wondering if anyone have some thoughts on the results. Thanks for looking :)

    Interesting concepts. In the 2nd one there's a noticeable shadow behind your head opposite to the shadow on your hand. Hmmm? ne_nau.gif

    1 is a little creepy but interesting...2 is strange but fun...I visited your blog and I am intrigued by your work. The portrait work is good, but what got me was your landscape and nature shots, and the bird shot that first comes up. And I got a good chuckle from the April shot of "why i'm never bored" that is awesome.
    You are very creative and I really like your compositions! thanks for sharing!

    These are great. A little disturbing but I like it. I'm happy to know there are other people in this world as weird and goofy as myself. Here is a SP similar to yours I did a while ago:

    The concept and amount of work in PP is cool. Fun to look at, absolutely.

    I expect that soon, this will become the norm of portraiture....... People just seem too not like reality any longer, since the conception of digi and PS.

    Interesting work. #1 is a wall hanger. thumb.gif
