The First Snow
I've felt I've abandoned my artwork as of late, so thought I would get off my butt and work on something.
Being a lover of winter, I seem to never tire of snowscapes, so here we are.

Signature Brush Tutorial
Just a little something for those who may want to make their own brush to
stamp or watermark their photos or artwork. Since it's a brush, you control
the size you want to use on your work, plus you cant control the opacity
and choose what color to use, it's a brush.
Here's a link to download:
Zoomquilt II
If you love artwork, you must check this out, time well spent.
"Zoomquilt II" is a collaborative flash animation created in 2007.
It consists of image contributions from 20 artists connected in a continuous zooming motion.

A free screensaver is also available for download.
"Zoomquilt II is just like a quilt blanket was made from about 20 artists
contributions. The beauty of it is that the drawings are put into a never
ending zoom motion (inwards or outwards) [as] you enter the microscopic world.
The only thing I will add is that the screensaver is awesome and highly recommended.
Check it out for yourself!
Go to the Zoomquilt II and check it out.

My Profile:
Welcome to ShadowHouse Creations
I'm your host Jerry Jones, some of you may know me by my current Flickr name "skeletalmess" or my previous alias as "ghostbones."
I'm what you would call an avid self taught Photoshop digital artist, who has no professional training what so ever, all that I've learned has come from tutorials posted online all across the web and self determination.
I'm also an amateur photographer, and I feel I'm being kind in my wording amateur. I feel more comfortable with Photoshop than a camera in my hand, but I feel I'm slowly learning more about photography as time goes by, and hope someday I'll feel as comfortable with my camera as I do with Photoshop,time will tell.
To those of you who know me, probably know me from my Flickr site, and the work I do with textures, which I post for anyone to use, both for personal use and professionally. I've been creating my own textures for some years now, and love incorporating them into my artwork and photos, if used properly,they really can add incredible possibilities and atmosphere to your images.
Being a member of the Flickr community and several texture groups, I decided like so many others to offer them freely for others to use, after all, why should they just set around on an external hard drive collecting dust.
Some of you may remember me for my dark artworks, something that was such a big part of me for quite some time under the name ghostbones, but the genre grew tiresome and I felt I was feeling pigeon holed to one creative output, so in late 2008 I decided to put an end to ghostbones and start a new life as skeletalmess, which I
tried to hide at first, but it was evident to others who new my work who I was, so much for anonymity.
I'm loving the new me, and I'm having fun again, trying my hands at different things and all the while, keeping some wonderful friends along the way.
....................................................................................................................
Tools I use and couldn't live without are:

Photoshop Elements 9 : for creating slideshows, cards and other things.
Adobe Lightroom 2.7 : for most photography.
Adobe Illustrator CS5 for vector work.
Photomatix Pro 3 : HDR which I haven't seriously gotten in to,yet.
Nik Software Color Efex Pro 4 : for all the possibilities.
onOne Perfect Effects 3 for more possibilities.
onOne Mask Pro 4 for masking.
FujiFilm FinePix S5200 Digitall Camera : my main camera.
HP Photosmart R707 Digital Camera : it may be old,but it's sentimental and trusty.
PixelRuler 3 : pixel ruler for web work.
Snap 5 for screen captures.
Nexus Font for managing my numerous font stock.
PicPick : for the little things.
Notepad ++ : for everyday use.
Assorted Plug-ins, to many to name.
