I had some real problems accessing ff's forum lately – maybe thing will get better.

you really know how to hurt an old fella

Just kidding around of course, but as you might have guessed I was giving voice to the demons in my own head. It would be easy to get discouraged seeing some of the amazing work done by artists in their mid twenties. I just have to keep reminding myself that the mistake of my life has been to become distracted from what I know to be the right thing to do - and at 45, this is my last shot to get it right. smile:)

It looks beautiful. Where's the original? I'ts impossible to criticize the effect if you don't post the original. Are you hiding something? Is it just me or is your grunge getting more macro.

Some of the retouch is nice.....commercial.....but I think some of cutting edge digital comps were the best works.....

Wow! I sure would!! If I were rich I would have a room dedicated to his work. In fact if I were rich, he and Dave McKean would be rich too.
Then again it might not look that great beside your life-size poster of Ann Coulter. smile:-p

I just watched Pan's Labyrinth. All I can say is that this movie is intense!
First, first… the music in this movie is great!
And second, and this really should be first(but the music was soo f-cking good) (and as a complete aside, if you check the forum logs you will notice that I have never previously used caps (not once)… well very shortly I'm going to use them. ), this movie is NOT(yes, that was it) for kids. Even thought it stars a child. I guess it was at the beating of the man's face in with the wine bottle I stopped thinking about recommending this to my nephew and started thinking 'welcome to Dick Cheney's America'.
Anyway. Check out Pan's Labyrinth – it's great. (but not for kids) smile:)

If you've got netflix you can stream it instantly, that's how I saw it- and yea it's a pretty good movie. Gets real intense at some points.

I just saw "I Am Legend" and liked it alot.....now I want to see "No Country For Old Men".....which is supposed to be very good.....

My girlfriend made me watch "Juno" with her.....pretty good.....different.....liked the human nature side if it.....and the young lead actress definitely deserved the Academy Awards for her excellent performance in it......

Haven't seen it but her co-star was great as George Michael Bluth in 'Arrested Development' - the funniest show in the history of the universe. smile:D

It's based on the same book. I think that makes it a remake. smile:?:

Kind-of a spooky look you have going with this one. You seem to be sacrificing a lot of detail. Will you allow the user to control how much is lost?

Yeah, I liked that one. I was a little shocked by it at the time but not as much as when I watched Vincent Price tie someone to a chair and exsanguinate them as they talked. smile:| But the one that really got me was called 'Five Million Miles to Earth'. For some reason that one really freaked me out. smile:eek:

I don't have a clue what any of those things are but they sound like solid principles to base a series of filters on.

I heard Wacom pronounced for the first time today - I thought I was going to die. smile:cry: smile:evil: smile:(

It's pronounced whack-um, I thought it was pronounced way like in way and com like in comet. Thank god I never had to pronounce it in front of anyone before.


Thanks for the link Carl. I will browse it for real when I get some time.
