Sketches

,

my words are my tears

Last Friday I visited in Lappeenranta. They have a very beautiful bell tower and church in the city center. And as usual, I took a walk around local cemetery. On a train home I tried some PicSay editing I discovered recently: Faux HDR, Soft Glow, Sharpen, Invert (into negative), Pencil Sketch, Invert (back to normal), adjust Exposure. But thats enough about technical issues...

I found an interesting back issue of EXIT magazine on net, packed with interesting articles on topic called "writing pictures". Ever since I started to read cartoons, I have had a passion for texts in or side of the pictures. For me texts are like Rosa Olivares says:

[W]e are led blindly along alleys where a glimmer of light suddenly appears. Intuition is sometimes enough, even essential. Other times, however, words are the light and the explanation.

Pencil Sketch is the filter that has add those cross lines. However, the pictures may look great even without that addition. The main idea is to boost colors and use some sort of "HDR" and "glow" effects.

Here's a Link of a Cartoon of the Smurfs that I took as a still one Saturday Morning a few Months back, I also added a Stamp effect with photo edit(that I don't remember the name of) over the Top/middle part of Lazy Smurf as the Pic is Blury underneath & I added my Own Cartoon Bubble text Caption with Picsay.psmurf

I'm using HTML tables for collages here on my blog. Explained here: http://my.opera.com/serola/blog/2010/11/09/posters
The text I just wrote inside the table cell (td tags) under the picture, and then I centered the table cell contents.
