    UPDATED: To the library, and bring the candlestick!

    ‘Twas a dark and stormy night. Or something like that. Certainly there was a bump, something in the force that only Obi could feel, and crawling on the planet’s face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time, and lost in space. Well maybe. In what just might be the most brilliantly nerdy murder…

    Tutorial: Turning Star Trails into Comets (with Twinkles!)

    Star trails can get boring. Let’s make twinkling comets! But first here’s a story for you. Back in the day, in darkest Winter, the Rangers at Yosemite National Park used to build a big fire on top of Glacier Point and when it was good & hot, they’d push it over the cliff and give…

  • Adobe CS6 is here!

    Adobe CS6 is here!

    And I don’t care. So what’s in it? A bunch of fixes to Content Fill (about bloody time), some UI tweaks, and er, well, that’s it. Well then, that’s a bargain at ‘only’ $199 Just like CS4, this is another lame intermediate release. What did I miss?

  • Army Of One

    Army Of One

    Multiplicity is a load of fun but takes planning. This image won us second place in an Adobe competition so we’re very pleased with ourselves. How it was made. Even creepier idea.
