Summertime...

I'm not a country music fan but Kenny Chesneys

Summertime was stuck in my head today. Played around

with icolorama brushes again then opened the 

image in Oggl to add a vintage camera lens and 

film effect. Added some texture with DistressedFX and

finally the lyrics with Word Swag.

I know….it's not a Ford….but it's the only shot

I had of a truck.

Yoo-Hoo!

Lola #2

Here's #2 in my Lola series. To keep with the theme

I used the same process as in the previous post. I played

around with more color choices in this one and really

liked the result. 

"Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand

why she walked like a woman and talked like a man

Oh my Lola

la-la-la-la Lola

la-la-la-la

Lola"

L-O-L-A……LOLA

Do you remember the song "Lola" by the Kinks?

It was stuck in my head all day and ended up in my

art. The original picture is an old high school photo.

I opened it in Tinned Cam and added the overlay

with the white lettering and distress marks. Next I 

used Procreate to add the "makeup" and saved the

image and then opened this image and the original

 in Image Blender. After blending the two pictures

I opened the result in Word Swag to add the lyrics.

I've recently joined a group on Facebook moderated

by Karen Divine where she suggests a direction and then

she and other artists discuss your post. The current 

challenge is to develop a series based on one idea.

I'm thinking I'll continue to bring out the "Lola" in

more old photos for my entries.
