A few weeks ago I landed in second place in a daily contest over at photoshopcontest.com

The original source was a photo of these two rings.

Something about it said to me: “flying squirrel jumping through rings of fire”. Yeah, not sure why it said that, but it did.

And when a photo says something as random as that, you damn sure better make it happen.

So I did.

The show must go on… 😛

I landed in second place in a contest over at PSC last week.

I thought the original source was pretty neat, but wasn’t sure where to take it.

I originally added in the layers of stairs making it rise endlessly. I almost stopped there and gave up on it. It just didn’t look all that great in that state. Then I added in the grainy darkness, and cracks to give it a more creepy look.

I really liked the way it turned out and was surprised to find out the voters at PSC did too. 🙂

A contest I recently participated in at PSC.

Original Family Sign

My all source chop of it… in to dominoes!

I didn’t do to well in this contest, but I had fun making it so that’s what counts.

An unofficial reunion contest went down at PSC. Choppers were provided this Ferry Lounge photo.

I wanted to chop it, but my original idea proved to be too difficult for me to accomplish, so I went with this observatory deck in a space station type thing.

A lot of people participated in this one, yet I ended up in 5th place. Not too bad for little old me. 🙂

Today is a speed chop day at PSC. They provided this photo of a ferry boat.

I suppose I was inspired by yesterdays remembrance of Pearl Harbor and decided to make a naval war type chop. I wanted to replace the cars with tanks, though couldn’t find any suitable images. The angles are very strange. Instead I moved the ferry over a bit to hide the modern. It’s not perfect, but I was in a hurry. Speed chop and all.

My grandfather severed on the USS Indiana during WWII, so here’s to remembering him and his bravery.

*Edit: I ended up in second place with this one.
