Rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off.
My good friend Ray got me wise to this new photo editing software called Affinity Photo. Well, it was “new” to me. It’s been around for a while, judging from all the videos about it on YouTube. I’d been grousing about how much it was costing me to have Adobe PhotoShop on my computer. I…
Every once in a while, when I upload pieces like the one above to social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Reddit, someone asks for an explanation of the process to produce it. It’s not super complex, but it is a little involved. So, in this post, I’m going to describe the basic process;…
I’m finished at TorStar. But still very busy. Contracts various and sundry, and side projects coming out the wahzoo; including some computer art.

It’s been over two weeks since I blogged. It’s been busy: lots of projects at work, my sister and her husband came in to town and stayed at our place, my mother-in-law had health issues so my wife and her sisters were visiting her. As I say busy, busy. In the meantime, I’m participating in…
I’ve been using Paint Shop Pro for years. I got pretty good at making greeting cards, but there was a limit to what I could do in terms of photo-realistic compositions. My friend, Kristan Uccello, posted a link on Facebook to a set of tilt-shift miniatures, which I think I can pull off. I’m also…
