This first photo is a homage to the 1990's, ubiquitous, Photoshop collage. We (as in designers) just thought they were super duper and liked them almost as much as the belabored drop shadow.
NO WAY! Is that photo floating above the paper? No, just a drop shadow? Whoa, what a fooler!
Back in the day, if we needed to design an insurance brochure, we'd stick a collage on it. Something with a puppy ghosted out over a house and then a kid on a bike and maybe a meadow in the background. And then we'd set it all off with a drop shadow. Cutting edge design...if you're designing for a nursing home.
Back to the 10's.
I've decided, I'm going to start oil painting. So far I've bought the brushes and I think I did a really good job at it.
Next, I'll start painting. I mean after I get some paint. Then I'll start painting. That's if I can find a smock.
But I mean really, painting, a four year old can do it so how hard can it be, right? RIGHT? What? Really?

I would LOVE to start painting. Thus far I've been too cheap to invest in good paints. And brushes. And a cool easel. You think I could just tack some paper onto Ava's Ikea easel?
I can't wait to see what you create. Just do it!
Thanks, mama!
