over the past 3 years or so, i've been creating these odd collages of myself.  i was inspired by my lack of commitment to a particular class i had, when enrolled at CDIA.  we had a higher level photoshop class with john still and i had too much going on at work and home.  i didn't fully commit to the assignment that was due and felt like i was selling myself short.  this was photoshop!  use it or lose it! 

i was browsing the AMAZING artwork posted on deviantart.com (which i do frequently for inspiration) and came across a photography that looked more like a painting.  it was very serene and whimsical.  the image was a woman looking off in the distance with her long flowing locks blowing in the breeze.  in the comments, the artist had mentioned using various brushes in photoshop to create the final product.  hmmm.  brushes. 

i immediately downloaded some hair brushes and that began my "hair series" of "art".  i feel weird calling myself an artist, because i can't draw or paint in the traditional form of art.  i am a photographer and photoshop artist.  a digital artist.  ;)  KMD

before and after.

i will be posting some of my new artwork here on this blog!  in the meantime, check out some of my older work here at deviantart.
