Kaleidoscope






I watch a video on youtube on how to turn a simple image into a complex Kaleidoscope. I really liked this project and i am very happy with the result.  The first one was a famous soccer trophy and the second one was a picture of my favorite ski resort snowbird which i turned into a kaleidoscope. I really enjoyed making this. Kaleidoscope are probably my favorite photoshop effect.

The Death and Life of Chelsea

I made this work to show Chelsea, my favorite soccer team, winning and losing the champion's league. They lost to their rival in the Champion's league because of a missed PK. This was huge because Chelsea had never won the Champion's league before. But 2012 was a new year Chelsea won in PKs!! I was so excited when I saw this. So I created the image the skull showing the death of Chelsea, when they lost and on the other side is Juan Mata celebrating and a picture of the team lifting the trophy. Their first champion's league trophy!

Abstract work

I made a work inspired by the movie My Kid Could Paint That  it was about a little kid who paint abstract pieces of arts and would sell for thousands of dollars. She would just splash paint around the canvas making an abstract work. For this work I just used the paint brush tool and different types of brushes making it an abstract work. I enjoyed this work because I had a lot of freedom. This aloud me to make the image to my own accordance. I enjoy making these abstract works. I hope to make more of them!
