Photoshop must be one of the single greatest inventions for both the lazy artist and the pro alike. With an eye for aesthetics, a bit of experimentation, a lot of patience and a few online tutorials, anyone can create interesting work.

I was in Dickson with my camera snapping away at everyday-taken-for-granted-shit and this was one of the products. This is a – not exactly sure what it is, but it has been turned into a site of creative postering. The posters are weathered, ripped, posted over and graffitied over – the end result is quite spectacular. I added some masking (among other minor tweaking) because I was screwing around in Photoshop and it [...more]
