ATC "Berry Car"

ATCs: October 2006

All these works were originally made to fit on a board scrap 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" (or 64 x 89 cm). Images here are somewhat larger than the original size.

All images have the original white border (usually about 1/8" to 1/4") on the physical card clipped out. The signatures were added in Photoshop. (The real cards are each hand-signed on the back.) All images have also been polished in Photoshop …  (read more)

Here, the limbs and faces were gone over with a few miscellaneous tools to smooth (heighten?) their Caucazoid coloring first. A "Blur = Smart" filter smoothed everything out further. Then the whole thing went through the "Artistic = Poster Edges" filter.

The "Blur: Radial Blur" filter is the last refuge for scoundrels and also for badly-considered layouts. It adds intensity and knocks out sloppy pasting with minimal effort.

Here's the "Artistic: Cut Paper" filter again, augmented with the Paint Bucket and a few other tools. Check out the mask effect this created on the upper left side of the "wall." Sort of seasonal, as are the marzipan candies in the kid's midsection.
