High Contrast

This photo was a happy accident, where I was playing with the controls of my new camera. I think the high contrast works well with the subject–street photo in San Francisco.

Freedom

Posted by Sherrie Thai of Shaire Productions.

Both Girl Textured and Freedom were created by hand with pen/ink, then digitally colored. They are about freedom of mind and spirit. Maya Angelou’s book “I Know Why a Caged Bird Sings” was a major inspiration as it was about a constant struggle and trying to rise above one’s circumstances.

The top piece is a experimentation into combining intricate patterns with a simple tribal style.

San Francisco’s Carnavale Parade (May 24th) is a convergence of cultures, music, and dancing. The chilly 50 degree weather didn’t put a damper on spirits. . .

Skeletal Piano is a mixed media piece inspired by the biomechanical style of H.R. Giger and Beksinski. The initial drawing was created on vellum with graphite. It was then scanned and colored in Photoshop.
