Some times during one’s life, we see something that is both fantastic and nearly unbelievable. As many of us, I have seen commercials in magazines, on TV, at the store and seen some most outstanding artwork, especially in photography and even digital photography. Then, one day, I saw something my wife was doing on the computer. She calls it digital collage art work, I simply called it ‘wow’!
It is so fantastic to see her develop her custom digital art work business and to see her truly enjoying herself. Life was not always good to us, but something good was sorely needed. I am handling the stress of being laid off a little better than her. Buying generic products appears to come a little easier to me than her. A little late on the rent is a minor glitch to me, but the end of all good to her, so seeing her loving what she does and that she is contributing to our bills is seriously helping her re-establish her own identity.
What she does is this, take a digital picture of a custom car, custom motorcycle, airplane or boat for that matter, she spends a lot of time removing that vehicle (or person for that matter) from the digital picture and super-imposes it on a new background. Of course, it is never that easy. She messes with the color to make everything match. Makes people’s teeth look like a tooth paste commercial, perfects skin, takes that pearl paint job and makes it actually look on pictures like we see for ourselves. Not like the pictures I have taken, lol.
The short of it is this, if you go to a custom car show and have a simple digital picture generated, with your vehicle on a custom background, you will pay upwards of $200 for each complete picture. My wife doesn’t refuse to do just a simple cut-and-paste for $200, she is truly an artist and generates a piece of art, even with more pictures and super imposing many pictures for that one of a kind picture to hang on the wall at home, she even does it for less.
So if you are looking for that special memorial picture of a loved one, the pride and joy parked in the garage to hang on the best part of the wall at home or an entire advertising campaign, you seriously want to go check out her web site. I never knew what digital collage art work was until I saw my own wife’s digital collage art work.
By the way, have I bragged yet that she was Miss Denmark? I am one lucky son of a, ahem, nice lady!
