LOOKSISM: Kardashian Look Alike Surgery Is What’s Wrong With Today’s Culture

People want to be everyone but themselves.

Heidi Montag did it, so did Victoria Beckham, Demi Moore, Charice Pempengco, Tara Reid, Ashley Tisdale, Madonna and countless others.

It’s this inherent desire to be “perfect.”

Sheyla Hershey could tell anyone who would care to listen all about it. After all, she’s the current world-record holder for the globe’s largest breasts (no pun intended.)

A desire that could eventually kill her.

I’ve been mulling over this for awhile but didn’t want to beat a dead horse into the ground. Except on Saturday July 24, 2010 Kim Kardashian showed up on my Twitter feed, highlighting something that really gets under my skin.

A die-hard fan of hers named Brisa Johnson (who has since deleted her Twitter account) tweeted, [Read more...]

{ADbitious} ESPN and the AMAZING World Cup Murals

Click to Enlarge, Magnify on Picasa.

When ESPN decided to go all-out, full-out for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, they designed a unique and truly artistic advertising campaign with the help of  the American-based Wieden + Kennedy (New York) who enlisted the talents of AM I Collective Studios in Cape Town, South Africa.

Their promotional efforts include 33 original pieces of artwork each representing one of the participating nations and one general World Cup piece.

The look and feel of the pieces are a mirror the hand-painted signage and [Read more...]

DVD, Blu-Ray, Avatar, Blu-Ray, DVD, Avatar… *squeee*

Yes, yes, I know. It’s not a surprise I’m a huge Avatar fan, nor is  it a shocker I was a wee bit cranky after the Oscars 2010, and it probably shouldn’t be a major “oh no she didn’t” that I’m totally psyched because… [Read more...]

How to Photoshop Yourself into a Avatar Na’vi – v2 #tutorial

**NOTE:
Again, cross-posted, high quality images at my Deviant Art.

If you are a frequent visitor of my blog, you know that I made an Avatar Na’vi Adobe Photoshop tutorial at the beginning of January.

That tutorial was made doing a lot of Photoshop manipulations and cloning. This time around for VERSION 2 I did everything from scratch in a pure digital art setting. This means, I didn’t clone from an Avatar image and I sat down with my Wacom Intuos 3 and painted my brains out.

I think it came out WAY better! … and it’s far easier! :)

{PS Tutorial} How to Photoshop Yourself Into an AVATAR Na’vi

**
October 3, 2010

The original tutorial wasn’t that great. So I did a version 2 that no one seemed to bother going to.

Therefore, I’ve decided to delete the content of the old tutorial and cross-post it with the second one, which is FAR superior.

Enjoy & good luck! :)
