Dont Try This at Home *

Denniliquin NSW

I visited my friend George, he is a handy man!
This is his garage, sometimes accidents can happen?
Took 2 photos, one with george the other without George to get accurate background.
Edited George and removed his head and copy/pasted head to his hands.
Copied background photo and merged all copies into one.
Applied smudge brush to blend the blood-thirsty bits and hand painted collar etc.
Finally duplicated image, selected filter-find edges-desaturate to blend-out unwanted detail.
Cleaned up image, lighting detail and shadows... (note: head shadow also removed)
Then framed it and flattened, sized and posted! ... simple as that... no science at all really?

Bob, I'm in awe of the style you've developed for this image as well as your exhibition entries. I'd certainly like to hear more about how you've accomplished this. This is really well done and fun. -Michael
