poster art: mikolov personal spacecraft!

check out my poster design based a fantasy sci-fi spacecraft that i drew some years ago. managed to digitize it today and make it into a 'vintage retro poster'. this is another stuff that i plucked out of my head.  it's kind of like "i dig this poster out from my grandpa's attic - the year was 3500." enjoy! please, do not steal my work. especially the mikolov spacecraft. that's my fantasy, don't take it alway from me alright? cheers! ; )

project D.I.Y. light tent

haven't been doing much lately, been busy formulating for my 'official' website. however, i managed to get a D.I.Y. light tent done (which is something i have always wanted to do) based on the guide in Digital Photography School. disclaimer: i don't have a SLR, plus i am not good with camera but i must say the light tent saves me plenty of time from editing on photoshop. for the interior, instead of using strips of blister board as recommended, i am being more 'extravagant' by cutting out a windows on a piece of vanguard sheet so that the side is now in one piece without any seams. however, my stock vanguard isn't long enough for this big box. this resulted in a seam at the photography area. check out my version of the light tent below with the photo samples. pardon me for it's filmsy look - it is filmsy - the carton box suffered quite an ordeal while in the process of being converted into a light tent :D

        

the sample of the photos were taken for a LED lights blogsite, which is being maintained by me :) you can check out the blogsite HERE or by clicking on the photos.

and here are a couple more of the 'results' with a little cropping and exposure adjustment with photoshop:



pretty neat huh? no more using the lasso tool or pen tool and painstaking cropping the unwanted background out. that's good news. info: that's my lovely iPod classic with my all time favorite Gelaskins. photos taken with Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28.

update: replacement icons for your mac

i am still working on the icons, so far i have gotten 11 of them. they are:

• finder
• dashboard
• time machine
• safari
• address book
• ical
• itunes
• garage band
• preview
• iphoto
• ichat

hope to get them out in another week or so. at this moment, they are hanging in at 512px size. i have yet to test out how each of them will looks like in 32px and 64px. each icon is created from scratch. some icons such as the garage band, preview, dashboard and safari are the most complicated thus far, and they took the most time out of this lot. i can't wait to get them out to the rest of the world! ;)

so far the comments for this icons @ MacThemes Forum are very encouraging. you can read all about it HERE.
