A Bunch of WTF Art
Raju Paliwal, 21 years-old blogger, created some interesting WTF art. 11 images which totally explain the WTF expression, one of the most used in Twitter.
Take a look to the complete work in this site.
Mario Bros: The street version
No, this is not the Mario Bros in Real Life we showed you before; neither Mario has a different look –street look- than other versions of one of the most famous games. This video shows us a complete Mario Bros level in the street.
Ok, you need to see it to understand the idea; take a look:
This video was created by Andreas Heikaus, and was part of the Bachelor thesis at the University of Applied science and art Hannover and is described as “It is the process of matching CG elements into live-action footage.”
Citrify: Spice up Your Photos Without PhotoShop
It can take months, even years to learn how to use Photoshop properly. And all most of us want to do is edit the holiday photos to reduce sun glare or fix some red-eye. Pretty basic stuff by Photoshop standards.
Well now there is a cool web app called Citrify which acts as an online Photoshop alternative and it allows you to digitally enhance photographs on both a basic and advanced level.
As you can see above in some of the pictures, you can massively change skin tones, reduce glare and shine and even make photos look more ‘artsy’, just as you would with Photoshop. I found this web app surprisingly easy to use and very quick at processing the images as compared to other services which leave you waiting for ages for changes to load.
You can also get creative with your pictures by adding and removing elements or changing colours of certain areas like the mans skin was turned green in the picture above.
If you just need a quick brush up tool for your photos then you should check out Citrify.
BrushEezy: Cool Photoshop Brushes and Textures
There’s nothing more frustrating when you’re in the middle of Photoshopping an image than discovering you haven’t got the right type of brush or texture. I mean, the basic ones will only do for basic image editing and forget about compositions. What you need is a library full of great brushes and textures. Just look at some of the great images created above using them.
BrushEezy is a database of thousands of Photoshop brushes which you can download and install. These range from the basic for things like creating great looking skies and to the complex such as composing modern art or website design.
Most of the sets are user submitted. I seen some great ones such as funky brush stylings and even a tool to create very realistic blood spatter. Each set can be previewed and downloaded for free. The brushed tend to have at least one hundred or more in a set so you can create your perfect designs. The community also vote to rate each set so you know what they’re like to use before you download them.
This is a great Photoshop recourse and a must use for any amateur or professional.
BlockPosters: Make Huge Posters for your Wall
This is without a doubt the best art website I’ve seen in ages. What you can create with just an hours work (most of which is you betting up close and personal with some double-sided tape)is fantastic. Take a look at the image below. Cool right?
To make one of your own follow these steps.
- Go to blockposters.com
- Upload and image that you ant as a poster (1Mb max)
- Download the resulting file
- Print it out
- Get sticking
There are slight gaps at the edges of the page which could be sliced off to provide an uninterrupted image but I think the gaps add a certain charm.
