Cooking with Photography

This blog will teach you how to make bland, boring photos into a tantalising concoction of visual deliciousness!

Take 6 average photos, such as the ones pictured below. No need to worry if they're undercooked, we can fix that up later.

Add photoshop generously, judging the amount by eye. Watch the colour, it should lighten when nearly done. Flip to get the desired effect.

Most importantly, don't reveal your secret recipe to anyone, or else they will realise that you are no good at photography (or cooking), merely crafty.

Garnish with a pinch of evil laughter.



Muhahaha!

Custom Kicks! With bonus Vans Tutorial

I have been wanting to do this for AGES. Absolutely ages. And I finally had an excuse, thanks to MAKI, who ran a contest to win their new book.

Do you want to know how I made them? Really? You sure? It's top secret stuff... Ok then, here's a little tutorial for you!

Step 1. Draw monsters on paper to see how they look.
Monster smush!
Step 2. Draw monsters on shoes with pencil. Begin painting with fabric paint.
Step 1
Step 3. Paint more.
Step 2, 2
Step 4. And more. Don't give up.
Step 3
Step 5. Outline monsters with fabric marker.

Step 6. Set paint with hairdryer.
Step 7. Wear.

I have a bit of a thing with monsters at the moment. I'm going to wear these lots in the future. Vans are so comfy, too! :)

I also have pictures from my final Fibre Art display, and my latest life drawing class, which I'll put up soon. Yay for shoes!
