I’ve come up with nothing to share tonight, at least at first. No great thoughts, not deep insights, no rants against the stupidity and horrors we see around us. At least, none that I feel comfortable sharing right at the moment. So just when I was about to drop back ten and punt, I remembered that at this point the proper course is to create. To make art. (Which almost certainly will be crap, but art exists for its own sake, so let’s see what happens. Sometimes we need crap.)

So take some random photo – use Photoshop or another program as a blender, a high explosive, or a paintbrush – MAKE ART.

Given what I started with and what I ended up with, I’m reminded of Bare Naked Ladies’ “Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel.”

I like the effect – maybe one of these times I should keep track of which filters and effects and settings I used so that I can more or less replicate it at some point in the future instead of just stumbling blind from scratch every time.

Maybe.

Too cold for real world scuba diving in LA today, so with the help of Photoshop, we’ll go there virtually.

Sort of.

Deadlines have been met. Accomplishments have been recorded. Credit has been bestowed.

Damn, I’m tired.

Because if you can’t say anything nice, STFU, and I’ve been sitting here for an hour and I can’t find anything nice to say.
