More playing in Photoshop, this time inspired by a bank's ad campaign, "Everything is personal".

Cats should get equal time!

haha I love this. Who's finger print?

Thanks! No idea whose fingerprint; just one I found in Google image search.

I'm sure this could be done in The GIMP or some such program as well as Photoshop.

I used the "Minimum" filter to thicken ridges and "Maximum" to thin them. I didn't select the bits manually, though! To make the selection, I copied a high-contrast cat picture and, in the fingerprint image, pasted it into Quick Mask (where white becomes 100% selected, black 0%, and grays in-between).

I jump on any chance to get a plug in. This is my stuff. Never had a reaction to the novella yet. Perhaps it's lousy? Too long? Boring? Some people like some of the poems.

I just want to reassure all of you that there are no harmful side effects of reading Ian Mason's poem "The Taste of Paint."

You should get that looked at.

good idea - I might do some writing at some point before I die... :)

I've always wanted to be a writer, but never seemed to have the time to follow through with it. I cannot draw, and I don't have a very good singing voice. My kids used to beg me not to sing to them when they were little.

I like to talk, a lot, and (so I have been told)much too loudly. My mother told me when I was little, she thought I was never going to learn to talk. They wished I would learn how to. Then, when I did learn how, she wished I would learn to be quiet once in a while.

If I ever get artistic, and have something good, I won't hesitate to put it up where people can find it.
