I was amused to see Shaan Hurley losing his locks at AU. Some of you may recall me suggesting this course of action a couple of years ago. How close do you think I got with my artist’s impression?

In common with many fashion photos, this showed a skinny model that appeared to have been further skinnified on somebody’s computer to the point that the poor waif was ridiculously deformed. Like this:

It vanished rather quickly after I was spotted taking a photo of it. My daughters don’t go to that school any more. Instead, they go to the school where I took this photo this morning:

Does anybody know what this insect is? It is the second one of these we’ve found in our home in Western Australia. It’s very active and it smells horrible. YouTube Link For those of you who can’t access YouTube, here are some [...] Time for my own bad Photoshop. Truly, truly awful work here. This is the tenth and last (so far) edition of Gaahl’s Tr00 Life Adventures. Click the thumbnail to see the full size image. This one contains a few in-jokes (e.g. “many Norwegian countries”) from the Mike Portnoy forum community that was the [...] 3 March 2009, 12:25 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: Fun, Gaahl, Image manipulation, Metal, Music, Peter Beste, Photography | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Photography, Pictures More Fotoshop phun courtesy of Clark Rubber: We’ll allow the oversized box and balls as an artistic device. But the woman has been cut out (badly) and pasted in with little regard to scale; that water is about 30″ deep. She either has very stumpy legs compared with her skinny top half, or [...] 16 December 2008, 4:02 pm | One comment | Tags: Advertising, Clark Rubber, Fun, Image manipulation, Pictures | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Pictures I’ve mentioned before that I love the Photoshop Disasters blog, and I’ve also mentioned that Clark Rubber has provided me with great service. Here’s the first of a few posts that combine the two. I recently received a Clark Rubber brochure, and from the look of it (and the web site), Clark Rubber is [...] 11 December 2008, 1:42 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: Advertising, Clark Rubber, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures | Category: Advertising, Customer Service, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures I love this blog: http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/ OK, some of the “disasters” are a bit nitpicking, but there are some truly awful image manipulation efforts out there, some associated with very big companies. Look back over the archives, there are some real classics. Lesson to large companies: don’t penny-pinch, it’s not worth it. I can’t remember [...] 15 November 2008, 9:05 am | Leave a comment | Tags: Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs | Category: Advertising, Autodesk, Bentley, Fun, Image manipulation, Other Blogs, Pictures Where to next on Gaahl’s ever-changing career path?

Anyway, presentations don’t get any more extensively rehearsed or expensive than the opening ceremony of the Olympics. So when a technical glitch occurs like Cathy Freeman having to stand around waiting for recalcitrant [...] This week, save the last dance for Gaahl.

This post will redress the balance a little. This is a silly video I made based on the song Ghost of Perdition from the [...] 28 May 2008, 3:35 pm | Leave a comment | Tags: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Opeth, Video | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Pictures, Video In this week’s adventure, Gaahl goes shopping. No, it’s not your eyes, the background image is fuzzy. A couple of things may need explaining. According to his mother, Gaahl is vegetarian (not that there’s anything wrong with that). Also, Gorgoroth was his band. They have now split up and ownership of the name [...] 14 May 2008, 12:29 pm | One comment | Tags: Fun, Gaahl, Image manipulation, Innards, Metal, Music | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Pictures In this week’s adventure, Gaahl gets a new job.

The Satanic themes aren’t my scene either. Black metallers in most cases really are Satanists, unlike most metal musicians who are mistakenly thought of as Satanic by [...] 11 April 2008, 10:16 pm | 5 comments | Tags: Fun, Gaahl, Image manipulation, Metal, Music | Category: Fun, Image manipulation, Music, Pictures |
