Thanks a millions ....
























 I'd like to personally thank you, my "Friends and Followers"
for your kind support and patience to put up with my intermittent
lapses in posting as of late.

Thanks to you, I've now surpassed "Two Million" page views,
and I owe it all to YOU.

I know, I know, with the good news I should be smiling from ear
to ear, actually I am, on the inside, seems I was not gifted with this
outward ability at birth and unfortunately there's no way to download
DNA updates .................pity!  LOL!


Thanks : )

Raised Effect Textures

Example-One


  













Raised Effect Textures can supply lots of possibilities using different
layer modes and opacities, and don't be afraid to add other textures
or as I do, add the background layer as top layer and experiment the
the modes within Photoshop.    Read more for examples.

GF Texture Set

GF-banner

GF Texture Set contains six unique, large and different textures,
hopefully some use can be made of them.  As always, have fun.

I was hoping to put something up sooner, but I was experiencing odd
behavior on my PC, so I went and did a full system restore after the
hard drive crash, what fun it's been.  I appreciate all the kind comments
and offers to send me copies of texture sets, I think I'm doing pretty
good, just so damn time consuming to download sets from all over the
web.  If I find I am missing some sets I'll ask and hopefully someone will
have them.  I hope everyone has a wonderful extended weekend, be
safe, and have fun.

Searching For Clues


So sorry for the unavoidable absence, it seems bad luck has dealt me another blow.  Recently my external hard drive containing at least 80% of my artwork and texture collections, let alone other resources like brush collections, works in the making and my music collection was lost.  My old hard drive was showing signs of concern, you know, the obnoxious grinding noises and intermittent peek-a-boo contents, so I purchased a new hard drive (Western Digital USB 3.0) and transferred content from the old hard drive to the new, which was so painful and slow due to the rapidly aging of the old HD.  Two days later it seems my new (Western Digital USB 3.0) died on me, locked up and won't even open, and yes it seems I've lost years of work and color in my hair, not to mention an arsenal of verbal expletives in the process.

Starting over SUCKS, but unfortunately it has to be done, so, with another new hard drive (fingers crossed) and cloud storage, I've been spending all my free time downloading and storing what I have loaded at various places all over the web.  I'm really starting to believe in the old saying,"if I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all" very strongly.  Enough ranting from me, just thought I'd let you know I'm still breathing and hopefully I can take some time away from disc recovery this weekend and spend some positive time to put something new together to post.  Hope to see you soon and may you and yours have a wonderful weekend.  

Peace
