Wallpaper Giveaway: Carousel Horse

Once in awhile I have to let loose my tight renderings and do a little experimentation in other mediums: this time it's photography.

Because my background is in both fine arts and graphic design, I do yearn to have fun mixing composition with photos on a more surreal level. Currently, my caper is with a carousel horse found galloping on Princes Street in Edinburgh during Hogmanay. I love the colors, the glistening of the lights that bounce and play on the brass poles.

The carousel horse is available as a wallpaper for your desktop and best of all -he's free for the taking. As usual, copyright stays with me, but feel free to tell your friends. Also, let me know which comp you like better: the one with Winston Churchill quote or the one without.

If more votes come in that you like the image without the quote, I will optimize it at the appropriate size and make it available.

GiveAway: Back to the Classics!

Finally Raleigh is seeing some rain! With this we celebrate with a reign of choices on the second giveaway contest:

A Classic CalligraphyPets Signed unframed print.

Your Choice! Yes, that's right. You know the ones: 11 x 11 with my red kanji printed on the bottom -that's my name "Lisa" in Kanji for those of you who didn't know. So scour the site for your prized image and keep it close until I call your name!


Shown to the left is Bacchus, the cat who started it all!
