Hey there Ahimsa... don't you ever go to sleep

Nice sample, I like it
One of your patterns under there?

Oh, BTW... the above text was a gradient I used on a font and then ran through Picture Putty. Nothing else added (no EyeCandy shine or beveling) accept for the drop shadow

Very Nice!!! It's like a fat-edge posterizer.....cool!!!

I like this one Foxxee

I'm glad, Carl... wish I could squish my hands right into that stuff when I see it in the presets. And the font above, when I ran this over it, looks sort of 'edible' doesn't it... like warm homemade cookies.... mmmmmmm

I do understand what you are saying, Carl. But you could try to schedual yourself to take at least 1-2 hour of computer time to just doing some quick drawing/painting sketches. I miss the smell of paper, the slippery feel of paint blending into paint under my brush strokes, the lovely little scratchy noises a good pencil or pen and ink play back while you compose your imagination on paper...

You could keep a drawing tablet next to your computer and start sketching some of the ideas you have for filters!?!? That's actually what I do

Jotting down notes is similar to drawing for me in that it keeps my hands and wrist limber, unlike a keyboard. But don't give this up.. it's just another medium we need to learn to share with our other artistic toys

Computor Dependency

This proves whether we'are dependent on computors
Are you male or female? To find the answer look downwards.........











































































































Look down, not scroll down!

I have to admit I didn't make it up

VERY nice filter, Foxxee!
This one reminds me of some the trends in current iconic illustration.
I like it very much

Wow, nice... I never thought of these, but I'm familiar with this style now that I see it again. Thanks DW (is it ok if I call you that?)

Some good ideas could be gleaned from searching the web for art and illustration styles

I like Barb... but I may not remember, so I'll use DW till I can remember your real name

You did fine in describing this style, I didn't know what's what it was called and didn't have my own definition for it, so you did OK
What is your mother language, if you don't mind my asking... Barb

Of course, gals! You can call me what you please (except b**tch and stuff like that, LOL).

My mother language is Spanish. I'm from Argentina.

Barb

I'm not a gal but hopefully I can call you Barb too the style has a linocut feel to it, good samples thanks - and your English is great better than mine and it is my native tongue LOL

LOL. Well, there are quite different kinds of foods here in Argentina. No enchilada or guacamole, except in Mexican restaurants.
Tostadas yes, I have those every breakfast.

What is that? A gaucho? We don't have many of those left either

Carl, of course you can call me Barb as well.

Great - dance is big isn't it in Argentina - and isn't gaucho a comedian

He's teasing you, Graucho Marx - Gaucho

That's true. Hans and I have had some misunderstandings while I have been teaching him English. I have forgotten most of the German I used to know and he still isn't 100% with English. So easy to say something that's ok in one language and not the other or to not know when someone is just teasing with you.

The fun part is when we teach each other local slang.

You don't have be speaking in a foreign language to miss the meaning, Aussies have a huge range of colloquialisms as you may have guessed, and I have to be careful not to use words that have a different meaning to other nationalities, which I did recently in the forum and Steve whispered in my ear what the word means to him and the comment suddenly became offensive

love this effect
