What have I been up to since last October? Well, among other activities (like moving–more on that next post–and not dying of communicable diseases), I have been spending an increasing amount of time in the world of digital collage.
I’m still venturing out into the world with my camera, and I still have several new photo sets ready to post on here. However, I think my brain has been craving the kind of time-sucking, ultra-focused work that can only really be satisfied through hours and hours spent in Photoshop.
… masks and blending modes and hue shifts, oh my.
I’m no stranger to Photoshop collage work. I’ve dabbled in it here and there for half a decade, but only in the past year or so have I found it enjoyable as a medium to feel competent and creative in. So, for my first collage post up here, I’ve decided to choose a series that *wasn’t* part of my very first deep dive into this medium. I made these three nighttime-themed pieces relatively recently, but spread out over the course of a few months. I was originally working to complete them by the submission deadline to a night-themed art show–then of course, as often happens, I missed the cutoff by a frankly embarrassing amount of time.
But at this point, what else was there to do but finish the triad anyway?
***And last, one quick disclaimer: all photos in digital collages are mine, taken by me, unless otherwise specified. Any picture of me (while obviously, not taken by me) is used with permission from the photographer and from the other humans in the photo.***
