I've been posting these up on my fairly new site, just trying to get some content up there first. I should be posting new pics every couple days or so and maybe some other stuff in between. Each are available in 1024x768 and 1600x1200. All the images were cut out of mags and scanned at one time, with a little photoshop to liven things up. If you like please subscribe to any of the feeds, comment if you wish (feedback always welcome) or link to me on your own sites.


Edit: removed thumbs.


Enjoy

Ernie

If you check out the Customization thread, you'll see that about 90% of desktops are kept rather clean.
For me these are way to busy.
Sorry.

Yes. You want your desktop to be as calm and non intrusive as possible. If you like making collages though (nothing wrong with that) I'd suggest you take a course in masking and layering techniques. Square blocks and poorly masked objects isn't very appealing.

Thanks for the comments. Better than nothing (I guess).

I did scan the desktops as one scan, not peicing together individual pics. I liked creating collages and mixed media stuff, so I thought I'd give it a try digitally. This way seemed like more fun than trying to find images on the nets and putting them together in PS.

When I get some other stuff together I think you might like I'll post here agin. I'll keep 'em cleaner next time.

I think I'm going to start a new series of pics. I'm sure I'll come back to this type of stuff again.
