I was thinking about the Once Upon a Time in Mexico movies yesterday. Hope you like it! (+ mini-story below). _____ I met him on a bench in the old town. We were sat in the main square, across from the fountain and in the shadow of the cathedral. He was smoking a cigarette and his guitar was resting next to him. He'd sat the guitar upright like it was a person. I was sat on a bench as a threesome with a mariachi, and his guitar. We began talking when I asked him for a light. He told me he was from Mexico City, but he was staying south for a few months to visit family. He talked slowly and calmly like some grandfather clock that had been pulled out of antiquity, but when he spilled ash on his blue suit he cursed like a junkyard hound. We talked for a while. I told him about my life and he told me about his. His was mostly boring, he said. "A boring life for a boring man, but that's the way I like it. Quiet is good." He smiled when he said it and stared off into the distance. He reminded me of an old man I had seen fishing on a lake; he sat and smiled at nothing, too. That was why it surprised me all the more when the mariachi pulled open the front of his guitar like a cupboard door and took out a rifle. He still had his cigarette in his mouth as he stood up and started firing in the direction of two men with guns. I hadn't seen them enter the square and they fell to the floor before I even thought about moving. The people in the square scattered past them and the men just lay there with empty faces and white shirts with red stains. No one checked on them. The mariachi didn't say anything to me after that. He packed his guitar and left. The square was silent. I could hear the tap of his shoes as he walked. He told me his name was Antonio. _____ Composite created using Photoshop, with pictures from @pexels, @pixabay, and @unsplash _____ The hashtag vault: #photoshop #movieposter #albumart #mexico #nostalgia #funart #fakemovie #mariachi #dontfuckwithmexico #corazon #onceuponatimeinmexico #explosion #badass #coolstuff #forfun #digitalart #whynot #plataoplomo #merica #actionmovies #90smovies #theguitarismightierthanthesword #especiallyifyouhaveaguninit (at Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByImoN4HnU5/?igshid=1oz7zx528li32

More double exposition practice with some Day of the Dead imagery.

First (fake-)movie poster attempt. This is (not the greatest song in the world, this is just) a tribute to all of the anime movies I watched growing up (+ mini-story below). _____ She, or it, wasn't real. The robot was a pile of metal, plastic, and motor oil shaped into a humanoid block. A holographic projection surrounded it with the form of a beautiful woman, but it wasn't any more than light bent into a pleasing shape. That was what I told myself. That was what was logical; but as I watched her walk down the hallway and disappear into the crowd, it was hard to remember it. I looked at the piece of black plastic that she'd given me. Hard drives are never good things in my line of work: a secure device with information that someone doesn't want to be available to the snooping eyes of other, it's not exactly where you keep the recipe to Grandma's cookies. She'd said something to me when she gave it to me. "Don't be late." She stared into my eyes when she said it. It was the only time she made eye contact with me. "Late for what?" I pulled the collar of my duster up around my neck and walked the opposite way. I could still see the way the light of her eyes flickered when she looked at me. _____ Composite created using Photoshop, with pictures from @pexels, @pixabay, and @unsplash (Unsplash photos from Matteo Kutufa, Vince Russell, and Ton Henry) _____ The hashtag vault: #photoshop #movieposter #anime #cyberpunk #japan #psart #coolstuff #photomanipulation #pscreations #digitalart #photoshopposter #dope #scifi (at Tokyo, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDfcmcn4Oq/?igshid=1pu9cd8191xn3

Repost with a few edits, and blue eyes instead of grey. Let me know what you think! (I'm torn between this and the grey one. I think the blue eyes make it pop more, but I don't know if it makes it look too crowded, compared to the precious grey eyes version.) _____ Composite created using: @photoshop Images from: @pexels & @pixabay _____ The hashtag vault: #ps_animal #photoshop #doubleexposure #photomanipulation #africa #maasai #lion #coolstuff #creative #compositionkillerz #theuniversalart #thegraphicspr0ject #pr0ject_uno #creativemobs #fxcreatives #creativitychasers #creativegrammer (at Mount Kilimanjaro) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDGtU9nr6L/?igshid=1ht9rmb90y50w

Another attempt at a double exposition. I was originally inspired to learn this technique by the work of @ciscographie, you should definitely check them out (their work is amazing). ____ Additionally, I used a picture of a Maasai man here. Did you know that Maasai men have a technique of stealing food from lion's? This is done by a few of them walking in a group towards a group of lions and their fresh kill. They walk up to the lions even if they are well outnumbered by the lions! This works because they walk up with confidence and the lions assume they are a danger and so back off, unable to pull their kill with them. The Maasai must then harvest as much meat and they can reasonably carry in a short time, before the lions work out that they can defeat the people stealing their food. This is one of the craziest things I have ever seen. _____ Composite created using: @photoshop Images from: @pexels & @pixabay _____ The hashtag vault: #ps_animal #photoshop #doubleexposure #photomanipulation #thegraphicpr0ject #pr0ject_uno #simplycooldesign #houseoftones #theuniversalart #digitalart #xceptionaledits #agameof10k #enter_imagination (at Mount Kilimanjaro) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByBM3a6JOc8/?igshid=1rdlnnai1vs6t

More double exposition practice, with an awesome lion phot that I'm falling in love with. I'm gonna call it: The gate to cyberpunk/AKA Cotton Candy Lion face. Also, mini-story below: "The gate to Hiroshima" _____ The rain was falling on the plastic roof that covered the street. There weren't any cars allowed on it, only the hurried lines of people going in and out of restaurants and shops. The roof was curved and the neon glow of the street signs stretched across it. Neon street signs are a fact of life on Japanese high streets, they inhabit every nook and cranny like groups of mad fireflies luring people's money onto the perilous rocks of arcade machines and katsu curry. I wasn't here for curry, though. I was stood at the entrance to a side alley on the street. There wasn't anyone in it. The street lay there, bare, empty, and foreboding. I took only five steps into it before the face appeared. It was a lion's face, with neon eyes. It was a hologram, and it asked me one question.

Flowers on a Tuesday (+mini-story below) _____ Story extract: His face was covered in shadow. Not all of it, only half. He was human on one side, and the other, the other was a gate to somewhere else. The eye on that side of his face was red. It hovered in the dark air like an angry fly. I could heard it's wings buzzing in the shade. I wish that was the worst part, but I looked at the eye because it didn't scare me as much as the dogs. He had two dobermans in front of him. We were in some basement in some rotting alley in some run down part of town. He was sat on a hobo's throne: a disused, mouldy armchair, and two placid dogs with vampire fangs sat in front of me. They looked at me without interest, without concern or care. They looked at me like food. I had my wife's birthday flowers in my hand. I always forgot her birthday, every year. It was one of my.worst qualities, but today I hadn't. I'd written it down on my phone and put 27 different alarms and reminders in there. Julie's birthday, Tuesday. I saw her face waiting in the living room. The glow of the TV screen would run along the outline of it. She'd glance at the clock on the wall above the fireplace, and tap her feet impatiently; she didn't like to be late. _____ Composite created using: @photoshop Images from: @pexels & @pixabay _____ The hashtag vault: #imagemanipulation #scifi #doberman #edit #photoshop #fxcreatives #digitalart #focus #gangster #villain #creativemobs #theuniversalart #thegraphicspr0ject #thecreativers #ministory #shortstory #pulpfiction #alternateworld #red #darkworld #detective #blood #crime (at The Basement) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx6LzBeHKIc/?igshid=1kebuvznxtaxx

Fish Stories (+ mini-story below) _____ Story extract: "FIND ME" That's what was written on the wall above the body. The wallpaper was starting to curl back. It was an old building and the damp and rot were rolling the lime green floral print down to the floor. If they'd come here a year later the job might have already been finished, then instead of crumbling floorboards the body would have been surrounded by several puke coloured burritos. He smiled at that thought and took another sip from his drink. The words would have still been there, though. "FIND ME", painted in big, red capital letters with the corpse's blood. Fucker. It wasn't enough to kill the guy, the murderer had to boast about it, too. They'd probably get away with it; since the water levels rose and the Thames reclaimed London, everyone got away with everything. The government had been pushed up North, the police force had suffered so many budget cuts that it looked like it had bought a trampoline with a paper shredder underneath, and half of the city was a drowned shanty town. Yeah, everyone got away with everything, but you could make good money from chaos. He looked up at the window of the basement bar. A shark was swimming by it. It flicked it's tail from side to side, and then it was gone. _____ Composite created using: @photoshop Images from: @pexels & @pixabay _____ The hashtag vault: #imagemanipulation #scifi #shark #edit #photoshop #Photoshopart #fantasy #creativegrammer #fxcreatives #digitalart #creativemobs #infiniteartdesign #theuniversalart #thegraphicspr0ject #thecreativers #ministory #shortstory #pulpfiction #alternateworld #waterworld #unknownperspectives #launchdsigns #xceptionaledits #bookcover #red #darkworld #detective #blood #crime (at A Dive On The Dark Side) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxp1S1pH9jZ/?igshid=1mkq2r72hcven
