I created this galaxy with The Gimp. For the “sun” in the center, I layered a few different types of flares, mostly the gradient flare. The stars and planets are brushes available for download at DeviantArt. Forgive me, I cannot recall which deviant made what star brushes. I use so many and make so many of my own; it all gets fuzzy. The polka dot pattern can be found within my polka dot brush set. There’s also some pinching (sans whirling) going on.

A simple artistic self-portrait.

Created in The Gimp.

The center fractal was made with Apophysis. Later, I processed it in The Gimp.

Taken in Burbank, CA.

In this one, I duplicated the layer of the original, less intense image (seen below). I, then added a grain merge (at 50) to create an HDR-like effect. Taken off of Santa Monica Pier, California.

I used an image I snapped of myself after my wedding, that’s why my makeup is “professional” looking. Normally, I wouldn’t wear that much.

I took the original (seen below) on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, CA. The wolves and mountains are Wikimedia Commons images.

Here’s a little something I did the other day.
