Shattering Scared

This week, I made an image of a girl, running away from something unseen, in terror.

Dissolving school

The way school just rips you apart is brutal.

Shattering time

Dissolving time- time is so fleeting and disappears so quickly.

Smoke Dancer

This week I took a break from shattering things and made a dancer out of smoke. The original smoke image I got from Unsplash.com, and it was taken by Олег Жилко. 

Shattered Basketball

As an addition to my "Shattered Life" series, I set up a tripod with my camera and took some pictures of my brothers shooting hoops. The net and the ball are two separate images that I combined. I made several layers of the basketball, stretching each with the warp tool. I then made my own pixel brush and, after putting layer masks over every layer, brushed back some pixels into said layers. I then warped the fading pixels the give the illusion of motion of the pixels.

Shattered Woods

I have created the first official image in my "Shattered Life" series. My little brother was walking through the woods when I made him freeze so I could take a picture. First I copied just Karson himself onto a new layer and. I put a layer mask over the original image. I then created my own paint brush on Photoshop in the shape of a leaf, set the scatter, jitter, etc and brushed the woods back to life.

Dissolving Life

This week I started my Dissolving Life project. I used a photo by Dustin Scarpitti from Unsplash.com for my original image and made it appear as though the man was dissolving into thin air. I am currently working on a few other images of this nature and intend on perhaps creating a series.

Discovery Channel

This week I delved into the world of Discovery Channel and encountered a new species of animal!!
It is the elusive Giraffa DiParrocchetto Leonessa in it's natural habitat. I combined a parakeet with the mouth of a lion and giraffe's ears to get this beautiful creature. His name is Rufus. I obtained the original images of the parakeet and giraffe from Shutterstock.com.
