Of late I’ve been toying around with some promotional idea for a newer website of mine. The above is my personal favorite, it’s a matchbook box (here’s a link to the template: Matchbox Template). It also brought up some other fun and different ideas that business and artists (and other business) could use to promote their work. Tweet This Post ...
While there are as many different ways to accomplishing a vintage look using Photoshop, I like this method due to being able to control the look fully, by using layers and the brush tool. This is an incredibly quick and easy tutorial, it uses a few things that have been talked about here as well (linked for ease). Tweet This Post ...
Before you continue, please be sure to check out my article on what you should do before applying to any writing jobs. There are a seeming endless supply of websites claiming to have online jobs available.

Let’s face it, some dolls are scary. The above image both proves it, and scares the bejeesus out of me, and I’m the one who set that sucker forth into the world (and for that, I am sorry). Let’s say you have an image of a doll that for whatever reason you want to make much, much scarier( no judging). Tweet This Post ...
I’ve been a writer for a few websites for a few years. Technically, I think it’s called something to the effect of ‘Online Content Producer’ or some nonsensical phrase like that (I really don’t like office speak, at all).
