I’ve had Photoshop for a while now but never really got on with it because of my pre-ocupation with Vector graphics, found an awesome tutorial this morning though which has really opened my eyes to the power it has and also the ease certain techniques can be achieved… namely this really cool lighting effect which I’ve been trying in vein to do in illustrator for along time
Next experiment… combine Vector art with this kinda cool lighting effects 
I recently got some dubplates cut for Chix’s birthday. I’ve had traditional dubs cut before and they are heavy and don’t last… so I wan’t to try out a new method I’ve being hearing about, which they claim offers ‘unlimited plays for a one off vinyl’.
I’d heard good things about Vinylcarvers but hadn’t used them… the hype is true, they are awesome! Honest and accurate responses to emails in a more than acceptable time! They even upgraded my postage for free on their own innitiative so that the vinyl would arrive in time to give to Chix for his birthday.
I will definately be using them again!
Incidently the vinyl sounds good and actually appears to be more like vinyl, only time will tell how well it lasts compared to other dubplates/acetates but yeah generally very pleased with the whole process!
I need to increase my record collection, so this is a plea to anyone who has a stack of vinyl that they no longer have need/space for and would like to donate it to a good home.
I will happily take anything off your hands; classical, funk, soul, rock, etc etc
I just need it for inspiration and samples for new tracks.
Thanks in advance to anyone that donates
Been awhile since I dabbled in Illustrator for fun, saw someone doing some really cool stuff with retro images and wood prints etc and wanted to have a go
Here is what I came up with…
Thoughts? Not 100% sure on it, kinda like it but not sure if its just a little crap…
