Gettin' Out of the Boat...

Life's been so busy I have neglected to post much of anything even though there's been lots of stuff going on.

This week I did a photo collage for work. Here's a copy of the final HD sermon slide.

Get Out of the Boat - Sermon Title Slide

Here are some of the pieces I had to work with:
Used a tiny bit of water texture from this picture:

Found some random splashes and waves to create the wake for the boat. Used various splash brushes (from deviant art packs, brushezzy?) to make the water on the prow look a tad more realistic.

Then I added lots of different adjustment layers and did some warping, etc... was fun making all of those bits and pieces look like they all belonged in the scene. I probably should have blurred the wake splashes a little more... these things are never "done" - just done enough because of time restraints - but it was lots of fun and I hope everyone likes it.

Freelance Design: Selena Sews

Proofs with the two I liked most at the top... This is the one she chose - definitely my favorite - although she chose the one with the sewing machine for a larger sign she was going to do cut vinyl for. I'm looking forward to seeing these in action. A talented friend asked me to help her with some designs for craft bag tags. If you're interested in seeing some of her side-hustle goods, check out her facebook page .

Writing: Lena - Chapter 2

    So - thought I'd post the second chapter of Lena's story too. Let me know if you're enjoying it?  Could possibly release the first installment of this 2 novella story before the end of May. With this story, I feel like I'm flopping around outside of my comfort zone and although it's uncomfortable, I'm assuming these are 'good' growing pains especially since the gospel is a bit more central than in the last story I put out there.   .2. Picked Up Just before sunrise, clouds lumbered off to the northwest. I shivered in my damp clothing and stepped onto the glistening onyx ribbon of road to consider my options: one, follow it to civilization and risk running into Ted or his crew, or two, risk a slow death by turning from the road into the dehydrating desert. I couldn’t tell how far I was from where I had started, and didn’t want to risk meeting anyone along the road once the sun had fully risen, but before I had made a conscious choice, I heard the grave...
