You Make Me Smile

What are little boys made of?  Well, this one is made with a beautiful face and eyes to match.  This is one of my collage experiments.

Oh, What A Night

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!

Graveyard Girl

I have a sneaky suspicion that I'll be seeing a lot of Lady GaGa's at my door this Halloween.

Hanging On Too Long

Pumpkin patches and little boys.  Is there anything better?

Silhouettes

Here's a Photoshop piece for the week.  I thought it might fit the Halloween theme somewhat.  
I say that I can't make anything up. I think of myself as a collage artist. I'm cutting and pasting memories of my life. And I say, I have to live a life in order to tell a life. I would prefer to tell it because telling you're always in control, you're like God.

Rollin'

I looked over and there was a perfect sea of orange.

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
