Pod people

What’s she looking at?

Lacey Savage / Hunter Raines — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 00:58:53 +0000

It’s not perfect… I’m noticing more and more flaws the longer I stare at it, but overall I’m happy enough to share.

Okay, so I’m about a month behind the rest of the world. Despite the fact that it’s January, I got my second wind of Christmas spirit today.

So today, I could have very well worked on a Christmas story… but I didn’t. Instead, I created this:

For the first time in months, I had a few spare hours to play with Photoshop this afternoon. The image below is based on a photograph I took while on vacation in Mexico last January.
