This photograph was taken at the Aquarium of the Americas at New Orleans in April 2004.

I found some pics I took from my trip to the 2004 Coachella music festival in Indio, California.

I’ve been collaborating with Matt Yarrington on the artwork his label’s next release, DoF’s “Sun, Strength, and Shield.”

Here’s a rough concept sketch of the artwork.

The refined design will be posted soon.

Oh, how I love this guy! Stephen Colbert just hit a homerun with his latest feat at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. He must have large cajones.

This is a lot like when Jon Stewart visited Crossfire.

I half expect the Bush administration to snub him out. One day, we’ll find him dead, face down in a ditch, or his plane will mysteriously crash.

A friend needed an old, small family photograph retouched and enlarged to be printed and framed. There was a huge gash down the middle and many small creases that needed removing. The scanner produced unsightly white and black specs on the image.

The Healing Brush Tool proved to be most effective in repairing the wrinkles. Using Curves, I made the image less faded by making the blacks a bit darker.
