Dead Ringer
Published by Gail March 21st, 2008 in Linkage, gailatlarge.comIt’s Good Friday, so I tried to make a good pun! (Tried.)
Aboard the USS Hornet, a decommissioned aircraft carrier, now a floating museum across the bay from San Francisco. It’s supposedly haunted. (Click on the pic for related links.)
As you can see, I’ve been messing about with the banner and background. It’s how I learn — by fooling around with Photoshop tools. The postage and handwriting brushes are courtesy of Stephanie Shimerdla at www.brushes.obsidiandawn.com. Lots of excellent PS resources there. I’ll definitely be revisiting and putting some money in her online tip jar!
In other news, I sold a photo last week to a non-profit group in New York City! Hooray! It’s one of the reasons why I’m putting more effort into improving my design/photography skills, because I benefit a great deal from it — not just personally but professionally as well. Plus, I love being able to say I made something myself.

Love the new look!
Had to copy & paste the link to the brushes, though. It’s trying to link to something within your site instead of the external site.
Thanks for the nudge. It’s fixed now!
