You know, I don’t think I ever really realized just how creepy the whole button-eyes thing in Coraline is until just now.
I whipped that up with the tool at the page for the forthcoming Coraline movie. Sarah’s going to love that pic when she sees it. (I bought Coraline for myself when it came out, [...]
Did you see the page of spirit photography that Jeff Ford linked to the other day? That stuff is pretty cool, especially in the historical context. I admit, though, that it makes me want to see if I could use my meagre Photoshop skills to cook up something similar from some digital photographs.
I’m working on a post with a bunch of information about the various things I got up to this week while I was away from the Internets. In the interim, here’s one photo that captures the way most of the week went:

It is one of a series of photomontages Gaby [...]
I’ve been messing around with some software to do image stitching, for the purposes of creating panoramic images from a series of simple digital snaps.
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but tonight was the first time I’ve had a moment in several weeks.
So, here’s my first test image: a view of [...]
A Sunday link list, of things that made me think of specific people.
