bad photoshop=good photoshop

when i was in high school in the mid 90s, the artwork for cds released through master p's no limit records (mostly the work of pen & pixel) was considered the nadir of graphic design and was the butt of many a joke. photoshop was still a relatively new phenomenon then, and those covers exemplified just how bad things could get with the medium. fast forward to today. what a difference a decade or so can make. now this kind of artwork has cult appeal, having been mocked to the point of being revered. the waylon group logo (see top of page) pays obvious tribute to this work.

see you at bilderberg '09?

i'm in athens hobnobbing this week. for the rest of you, here is a wikipedia entry and some humorous reportage, courtesy charlie skelton and the guardian. gotta split now. i'm off to play some beach volleyball with henry kissinger and a bunch of bikini girls. see you all later!

wow! this project is taking on a life of its own. a google alert brought this very angry blog to my attention, from which the above image is taken.

head transplants

i could barely use photoshop before this project began. i still have no idea what most of the tools do. i will say that starting with good photos helps A LOT.
