Photoshop Collage


This is a little something I played with for school. It's amazing the things you can do with Photoshop! I love this stuff! I can't wait to learn more and experiment with things. I've already edited alot of images that I didn't know I could make better.... hehe... Just thought I would share this one with you.

Class sketchings

Soon I will scan in some of my sketches from class and put them on here. My step dad is doing well and has surgery planned for Feb 10th in St Louis. During the surgery they will remove his gallbladder and any of the growths on his liver they can safely remove, which at this point they believe all can be removed with the exception of one, which they aren't sure about. More soon!

Update

My step dad is now home from the hospital with a stint in place for the start of chemo. They think they can surgically remove most of the spots on his liver and then aggressively treat the rest with chemo. They go for a follow up with the oncologist next week and should schedule the liver surgery soon, but for now I don't have any more details. I also have started my drawing classes and maybe soon will have some sketches up you can see.....Please keep praying for my step dad, he's important to my mother and that makes it important to me. Thanks.

Bad news.....

Wednesday I just found out that my step father has Colon cancer, and they did surgery yesterday. Last night I got a call from my mother telling me that "it was bad". Now, my mother is an RN, so when she says bad, I think really bad. Apparently it has spread to his liver, but to what extent I'm not sure. All I know is they called in a specialist who is supposed to see him sometime today. What do I say? Do I just sit there and hold her hand? Am I suppose to cry? How upset should I feel? They have been together less than 8 years and while I know and care for him, I don't know what to feel. That is bad isn't it. I pray for him, and I know that God will do what is best for Jim. It's in his hands. Please pray for my mother and her husband through this hard time......

Busy busy it seems I am all the time! What a year... I went back to school, and my husband and I have kicked our new business into full swing. Between the two of us, I think we will do a fine job, but it will......keep us very busy!

I haven't done much new art lately, mostly layout stuff for our online books. If you want to know more about those, well visit our business site.. www.hugeogre.com

In the meantime, school starts back up soon and I will be in a drawing class, so hopefully there will be more for you to view then. Wish me luck!
