The story continues..

Well as I said in my previous post that the image 'ToyWars' was my first introduction to using a kind of photo collage in photoshop. I wanted to keep the story moving on about what happens next and I thought it appropriate that I continue the style. Maybe even refining it more? Well you can decide.

The first image is kind of showing my little robot army busting through a load of plastic army men. Thankfully this project gave me the perfect excuse to head down to the toystore to get "inspired" :)

The second image is supposed to show the side effects of this conflict, don't worry its not a deep reflection of collateral damage in war... Its just my girlfriend Lily has this stuffed bear who looks constantly and utterly miserable (Shanes his name). Just had to use him and needed a sufficiently sad situation..

My Origninal Sale


I'm sure you can see the resemblance between this image and my banner.. Well it was one of my first images I did by playing with various textures in photoshop and not to mention my favorite usb keyring (the robot). It was also the first picture that I sold in an exhibition I took part in www.krop.com/fortheloveof/ . I thought it appropriate to start my work off with this old favorite of mine.

Not to mention it's having a new lease on life as I cropped the image for the Primetime Skateboard Deck design competition:) Its in the top 6 finalists so if by any chance you find yourself passing through Cork City drop into Primetime and vote for No. 5!



A Fresh Start

Technically this blog got off the ground little over 2 years ago... It consisted of a few random images thrown up haphazardly over a few months until i quickly lost interest. However this time i have dedication to produce something worth while:) Hope you find my work interesting
