This will always be one of my favorite pictures I've ever done. The squirrel was originally chewing on a chunk of pine cone, but if you turn it into a finger, the gnawed on cone really does kind of look like bone and ripped flesh. If the NPS ever finds this, I don't think they'll aprove, so if your dad's a park ranger, it's probably best that you don't show him this page.
Another favorite. This is my throwback to all the animal rights activists that don't quite understand that if cows weren't meant to be eaten they wouldn't be so freaking tasty! I think if God would just make cows look a little more like this guy, it would clear a lot of confusion up among vegans.
Ok, now that you've looked at it, go back and read the rest of the text. Everyone always misses the bottom right text and the short definition of freak in there. And also they fail to notice that THE FROG HAS WINGS!!! The humor really didn't work quite as well as I would have hoped it would, mostly because you miss most of the comic elements at first glance. I still love the picture though. Also, it's worth noting, that the wings are on backwards. You should be looking at the none colorful underside of the butterfuly wings.
You would really have to know Katy for the full humor of this to be realized. Either way, I've never met a guy that didn't get a good chuckle out of this one. The billboard was for a community bank before I photoshopped it. I really really really want to do this someday for real.
Ok, this is a classic example of when humor doesn't work. It sounded really good in my head, you know, a pedestrian crossing sign and a dead mangled pedestrian dead on the street. Maybe it's weird because its in the middle of nowhere on a little mountain road, maybe the dead ped isn't noticable enough... either way, it just didn't work. I apologize for wasting your time. If you laughed anyways, God bless you.
This one was done for my good friends Kasja and Nicole, because Kasja loves Star Trek and Nicole hates cats. Not much more to say about this one. There's a lot of text on that picture.
It was a bad day and I wanted to try out the new drip effect I had... I apologize to everyone, but I'm not sorry enough to not post it.
Didn't come out quite as funny as expected. I still love the idea of splicing the wrong gene and accidently coming out with a ticked off bison with wings that delights in the blood of the innocent. Imagine an army of these things coming at you. Freaky crap!
My friends and I have always been fans of really bad tabloids. I figured the next step for these newspapers is to go from insulting your intellegence with really fake stories, to go straight to insulting you directly with personally abusive articles. I have no idea who that guy is with the straws stuck in his glasses.
This is an old one I dug up recently and tidied up a bit. The car was a picture someone sent me because they wanted to buy the car. Wings came off an F16 I think, can't remember where the jet trail or the island came from. I think the island might be the bikini atoll... oh well. I like it!
This was one of my very first serious photoshopping projects. I was mostly just trying to figure out how to do things when I made this. I think it still came out decently. I really wouldn't mind turning this into a greeting card one day. Oh, and yes, that is a cactus there... I really does look like just another underwater plant. Weird, huh?
You've heard all the horror stories of plane's getting knocked out of the sky by flocks of birds. Now you've heard the one about the time a plane got grounded by a Buick. I think I did a pretty good job with the smoke. Don't you think? I still have no idea how you would get your car stuck in a jet engine...
It was a picture of a guy standing beneath a sign. Neither coming up with the joke or changing the street sign was hard, but I just had to do it anyway.
Ok, these ones are all grouped together because I did them for photoshopping contests where a picture was given and we had to edit it to make something funny out of it. I don't do as well at those appearantly, becuase I'm not overly happy with any of these. Two were for contests at photoshopcontest.com and the other was just a message board photoshop competition
Here's a half a handful more little pictures that I've done for random reasons, some are better than others, but I just thought I'd post them here incase you really wanted to see them for some reason. From top to bottom, that's an edited jar of skippy peanut butter, kermit the frog, Benjamin Franklin with a wicked awesome fro, and last but not least is my self portrait.
Vote Oompa in '04!
I was on a big Oompa loompa kick for a while and rolled out several oompa related pictures. This is Bush, shortly after the educated eggunator (or whatever it was) decided not to drop him down to the furnaces, and of course he's flashing the wonka bar for a little product placement to help fund the war on Iraq.
Pefection in Art
I know how cliche and overdone photoediting the Mona Lisa is, but I really couldn't pass up the chance to give the worlds most famous piece of art a golden ticket and bushy white eyebrows. The mushroom in the background looks really awkward and out of place, but I left it because ummm... I have no idea why I left it.
Tap that, whore!
If you play Magic the Gathering and are a fan of Wonka, you'll probably get a laugh at that, if not, you're just going to be confused. Don't worry about it, I assure you that it's funny. I really tried hard to pay attention to detail on this one, down to the illustrators name. It took like 3 hours to paint that stupid oompa on photoshop. It was the first time I'd ever turned a crappy photo into a decent painting before, and remains to date one of the most laborous things I've ever done on photoshop, hope you enjoy it!
