This is one of our cats -- arti-fied. I wanted to try a technique that Katrin Eismann showed in the latest issue of Photoshop User, so I started with that. Added a few other layers with some Flaming Pear and PS stuff, but not sure what I ended up keeping or tossing after "playing" awhile.

I am proud of him. He is a very cat-like cat -- we call him Maxwell Smart (it suits him), or sometimes Max-a-roni. He has a younger, smaller, adopted sister, Xena, (warrior princess, but only in her dreams), that he likes to pick on.

Thought it was about time I stopped by the fun(ny) farm.

A captivating image Christina, I thought for a moment there were fish bones overlayed (a feline dream?), but I think it' a fern!? 8)

good to see you back Christina!

he looks very alert! I like the ruddy color and texture, and the overlaid image works well I think, but it's really those eyes that put Max over the top!
