more flowers, this hipstamatic filter I used gives a feel of a Warhol, going towards abstraction. Some begonias, petunias, hydrangeas and a thunbergia, which enjoyed winding itself in a tall grass. Cooper Young= (Johnny C Lens and Hampline Film)

one more experimental video clip with a graphic frame over the top, all done in cs3 extended photoshop. yes it is possible, but don’t know how to make it loop, although i did find out after i did it how to make it longer, so this is very short.
I filmed it at Santa Cova in Ibiza at the magical Storytellers party.
The recorded sound wasn’t to good so discovered how to add some music in place of the original. Music a bit of Artbat

Video onto Cardboard ?
Not a video about cardboard, but a video ( clip) embedded into some cardboard
A beach parade of Pacha Flower Power people, grabbed my phone to catch it whilst having great time on an Ibiza beach. Rembering how to create overlays on videos in Photoshop.
•useful youtube on editing video in photoshop (I used PS CS3 and it worked, although stuff was in different places, as you'd expect, (I do use a partitioned computer btw )
Also this lady saved my life/brain. I had no sound coming from the video in PS so I searched allovertheinternet as you do and got lots of fixes --i just didn't have the audio symbol. Then i came across this article, where she said, you wont hear sound in CS3 but when its exported to QuickTime it'll be there --phew. And it was. It was over a Gigabyte though, so I took it back into QuckTime and eported it to 480 ipad. How to here
At least I've figured out how to do it . will be experimenting more
Old Charcoal slideshow
I made this slideshow in a frame many years ago. Completely forgotten how to do it. Putting my own frame around a movie. Hmm .these were quick charcoal drawings, keeping my hand in
Mask
Had to relearn masks in Photoshop as I forgot how to use them as not really a thing I’ve used much. Watched many ‘ easy’ ps mask tuts on YouTube and finally got the gist. I have older version of ps so some differences I had to work around. It was the alt click in the mask thumbnail that got me. Anyway I found that masks were invaluable in my style of using ps brushes on my artwork, controlling where you want texture/pattern etc.
For my music mixes covers I generally I use a model’s face starting point as a blank canvas to experiment on, masking the original image so it’s changed enough to be unrecognisable or enough so it can be creatively used. Always working on variations of techniques for my visual ideas. Different atmospheres to create a certain mood ( that may or not be in the music I’ve choose). It can be random, luck or a guided hand, if it fits. Importantly as well they have to be done reasonably quickly as I’d have spent long hours sourcing and piecing the tracks together in a coherent way. Track listing and uploading. So two hours is max for me. With these tutorials I found I’d collected a lot of covers to potentially use in future mixes
The one above, I thought wasn’t suitable, but still liked it, I’ve posted. Used old notebook paper, a script stamp and stained it with coffee. I think it’s about communication. Which I don’t do enough of.
Finding Inspiration: The Intimate Dance Between the Muse and Music
Title: Finding Inspiration: The Intimate Dance Between the Muse and Music
In the enchanting realm of music, where melodies soar and emotions intertwine, there exists an ethereal bond that fuels creativity and ignites the soul. This mystical connection, dear readers, is none other than the divine union between the muse and music.
Just as an artist yearns for a muse to guide their hand, musicians seek their own elusive muse to breathe life into their compositions. The muse, a whisper in the wind, whispers secrets and inspiration into their ears, coaxing melodies to dance across the keys and strings. It is a celestial collaboration, where music becomes the language of the heart, flowing with the essence of the muse's inspiration.
In the depths of a musician's soul, the muse is both a guiding light and a mischievous sprite. It can manifest as a fleeting melody that dances in the mind, teasing and tempting the composer with its elusive beauty. Other times, it arrives as a sudden surge of emotion, flooding the artist's heart and urging their fingers to dance upon the instrument with an unmatched fervor.
The muse, ever enigmatic, can take on many forms. It may be the gentle caress of a lover's touch, a vibrant sunset painting the
Guess who wrote this.
It was my idea but I didn’t write it.
My new friend, my friendly AI robot.. I just asked it—
Guest: Please write a short blog post about the muse and it’s relation to music. In a slightly poetic style
And about 4 secs later it wrote this.
I’m thinking more about how I do my music mixes and how I always feel I’m guided to the tracks I like. Amazing
Here’s where you can ask or task it (more than an it I feel) anything
