Out of place, maybe - but not lost. On holiday in Wales, these travelers set off with their Welsh-Klingon guidebook, confidant that finding the Welsh town with the very long name would be easy. I heard the Welsh town's name pronouced here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanfairpwllgwyngyll (see li...

Charlotte's Rad Rayguns

Image of 'Charlotte' is in the sbs. A couple of the shapes (pointing hand and atom symbol) come with Photoshop. Some of the decorative shapes are actually dingbat fonts that I found at DaFont, they are Free Ribbons and Soft Ornaments.

Red Planet Excursions

Airstrip 5, clear to taxi. I've been a scifi fan for years, and am especially intrigued by the thought of life on Mars, as told by Ray Bradbury in his Martian Chronicles. I foresee space travel to the red planet, perhaps in our own future.

Binford Does BBQ

1950s advertising, but with my 'spin' on it. The piggy shape is actually a font, found at DaFont, called Farm and Wild Animals (opacity lowered, set on Multiply). Used some inner shadow on the large text top and bottom. Burned the red outer stroke in some places. EDITED, per the mods.

Mirage of the Ancient Top Hat

From Wiki: "Gentlemen began to wear the top hat at the end of the 18th century... and developed from a fashion into a symbol of urban respectability... The top hat is sometimes associated with the upper class, becoming a target for satirists and social critics. It was particularly used as ...

I chose one of the more difficult images just for the challenge. Only the not-so obvious steps are in the sbs, the rest is just painting, masking, basic ps techniques. The leaves that are behind the girl in this final image are the ones from the background image. After the girl's hair was extracted,...

Space-Time Continuum

Yes, Virginia, there is such a thing. You may have heard them called 'wormholes', but it indeed is possible to travel through time. In this rare photo, taken from another galaxy cruiser, you see a Victorian steam-sub go through such a "portal", and emerge in the far distant future in a veh...

Remember those? Well, they were real, and usually on a mission - to find toast, their whole reason for being! This is a sleek Italian search vessel, and it looks like a successful mission - the planet is loaded with toast and even has a lake of butter. Basic photoshop - support lines to 'gondola'...
