This may be as close to Keith Richards as this painting gets. :)

I love putting on Pandora with nothing but Stones music…. The older I get, the more respect I have for the Rolling Stones.

The holy grail is to spend less time making the picture than it takes people to look at it.

Step 1: Wonderland

I’ve been working on a photoshop piece for about a year off and on. Whenever I get time, I try to add something about myself to it. It started off with the picture above. I can’t remember where this is from. I wanted to say it was my Prep School…but I’m not sure it is. I couldn’t find the original so this image already has a brown grime filter laid over it…but this is where it started.

The Wonderland T platform is where this began. A long time ago, I used to wait for the subway out in the cold. So, I wanted to do something like a subway platform. Here’s the next step. I stripped out the background and added a mosaic wall. I also sandblasted the columns and added a light point.

Step 2: Wonderland

In the next step, I’ve darkened the platform and added some signage. Red and Green. Port and Starboard. The inbound outbound signs are what I leave in life and where I’m heading in life. I changed the coating on the colums to be smoother. I’ll add some dirt later.
