MAKE YOUR OWN CIRCUS POSTER STARRING YOU! (ages 5-13)

Bring your own photo of you, your dog or a family member. Book Signing included.

Digital Painting: Dirty, Lazy Pixels.
Saturday, May 19, 2007
Are you a dirty illustrator? Then this workshop is for you. Learn how to add texture, fabric, dirt and scratches to your art without the messy clean up. Sick of buying expensive brushes? Make your own individualized brushes using Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop. Do you hate editing your art? Learn how to use Photoshop's distortion tools to make your characters fatter, skinnier, harrier and more animated without having to repaint them. This is NOT slick digital art. Be prepared to get your hands not-so-dirty and leave with a new outlook on digital art and a “goodies CD” packed with brushes, textures and tips.
