SPC - 'Hats' - #1

The challenge theme for October over at Self Portrait Challenge is: 'Hats."

So, you may ask yourself, why am I not wearing a hat in this photo?



Well, the theme is a little broader than just hats. Wigs/Masks are allowed in honor of the Halloween holiday coming up. I'm counting this as a "mask" of sorts.

This is going to be a tough challenge for me as I think I only own one hat. We'll see how it goes.

Photo Friday - 'Fast Food'

How does this relate to 'Fast Food?' Well, that's a fair question.

This is a building detail from a fast food restaurant (Popeyes Chicken) here in Anderson. I was attracted to the color and pattern.

The 'Portals' challenge continues at Self Portrait Challenge.

This is a recreation of another "The Far Side" cartoon.

Slightly less faithful to the original cartoon this time, but still crediting Larson for the inspiration.

Decided to stick with a similar 'comic book' visual style like last week.



Here's the original edit:


...and here's the original Larson frame:


I considered trying to add the Satan character in, but Christy wouldn't cooperate, that little devil! :-)

Photo Friday - 'Plants'

What does a tractor do?

SPC - 'Portals' - #3

This is a recreation of one of my favorite "The Far Side" panels.

Decided to go for that 'comic book' visual style, considering the inspiration.

I'm really happy with how this one turned out:




Here's my shot, straight out of the camera:


As you can see, the paper box there in the bottom left was just a place-holder for what would later become the sign.

...and here's the original Larson frame:


Classic!

Submitted this for Photo Friday's theme last week, 'Seaside.'

I didn't post it here because you've probably seen it before.
