Welcome!

This is a special Art Journal created for the 100 themes Challenge at Digital Whisper. We have been given 100 different themes to inspire and create digital collage art over the course of a year. All of my art is created in Photoshop Elements 7 and is made using personal photos, stock photos, copyfree and digital kit imagery. All sources will be noted in the post. Please enjoy and watch this journal grow!

Unbound


There are a lot of difficult and heavy themes at the digital-whisper 100 themes challenge but that's what makes it such a great springboard for creativity. Making us stretch and grow and create outside 'our' box a bit. This collage is for the #28 "Sorrow" theme. I have been avoiding some of the darker themes a bit but ran across this wonderful image (from Dover books) to express feelings of sorrow and loss. I built the background from multiple layers from Christine Renee. Tears of sadness from Holliewood at Deviant Scrap. Soft light filters and reduced opacity in Photoshop.

    Yes, it is nice to be stretched outside our comfort zones. This is a superb piece, Lori. Fantastic artwork, as always.
