Here’s some fun I had playing with Photoshop. I found a great tutorial on PSDTUTS and this is what I got. I can’t wait to play with this technique some more. If you like to play with Photoshop and haven’t found PSDTUTS yet, you should go check it out.

Well, I know I said in my earlier post that I don’t normally post about my projects but I had to for this one. WormTown Taxi posted about it which reminded me that I did mean to post about this “part two” of the project.

I’m really excited about this whole project. This piece is the companion site to the massachusettsfilmtaxcredit.com web site I built for my good friend Doug Kirkpatrick.

Doug had a great idea, a social network to support the film and tv production community in Massachusetts. There’s been great response so far. There are a lot of very creative and talented people in Massachusetts (and close nearby) and they are chattering away on that site. I’m having a great time getting to know people, seeing what they do and hopefully finding ways to work together.

I’m so glad to know great people like Doug and get the opportunity to work with him on projects like this. I can’t wait to see what he dreams up next!

I just got this from Artigo/Ajemian Films:
