In Coleridge's day, cocaine was used to treat a myriad of ills. History has it that he was suffering from an illness & took cocaine as a treatment rather than recreation.
My students could write a book on mind-altering substances for recreational use ;D
I've learnt a lot about drugs from them & what motivates people to dabble in them but yes, I know what you are saying ;D

Interesting work.
Nice choice of colours. I can see that on a black T-shirt.
One thing ... this is just my humble opinion ... maybe use a bit of barbed wire off the internet, to give a bit of 3D'ness - therefore depth.
I had a mini-tut somewhere if you wanted to have a look

You do, Welshy? Please do post it up. We can always learn new tricks. Why do I not remember this? Maybe my brain needs a good defrag?
Sorry to spam your gallery Dug.

Cheers Welshy,yes the T-shirt is going to be black.I did mess with the barbed wire for ages trying to get it right and ended up going more for just the symbolic side.I would appreciate any help in that direction.  No problem BBQ.always keen to learn,that's what I love about this forum.  Thank you Blackpenny I am glad you like it. In the start I was just playing around with the new fonts and the idea was born. |

I always like this type of image you do because it's unique to you, it's how you see it, love that sticking plaster over his mouth that ties in with the title.

@ Helen, I will take any response.Hopefully it brightened your day. @ Lance, never touch the stuff.Honest. @ Heat stroke, I wasn't sure about the textures getting them to mix with the cartoon like colours was hard but I think it worked. @ afg, Still trying a little bit of everything but this is what I really enjoy (probably because the grandkids think they are fun). @ Pixey,Glad you liked it,thanks for the response and comments. BTW the title of this was going to be The Redundant Ventriloquist's Dummy but I couldn't spell ventriloquist Cheers to you all. |

This reminds me of one of those pictures where it is a lot of deferent pieces of deferent photos, that are cut out with a pair of scissors and glued together to show something completely deferent.
It has a strange attraction. Like i am trying to figure out what every single piece are there for. And know there is no simple answer.
