Some of the layer masks made by students learning Photoshop can be pretty scary. And then there are some that are so good it’s… scary. Like any veteran designer will tell you, most of the software skills used in the industry require a lot of practice. And with that, dear followers, another Inktober draws to […]
Time to bid farewell to another year of Inktober. Thanks for watching, liking and sharing this year. Keeps your eyes open for Inklings because you’ll never know when they’ll pop up. Have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Please be sure […]
As far as traditions go, I actually enjoy the creativity of carving pumpkins. I just really dislike the tedious and grueling seed-ectomy.
