I've always loved this type of picture.. not sure if 'profile picture' would be the right description.. but whatever.

Post yours up if you would like, i'm always looking for new ideas. Tell me what you think!



Some photoshop work was done to make it flow better, in my opinion.. I love photoshop.

The photoshopped picture is a lot better than the original, I'm with you on that one I like the look of it, need to learn how to do that in photoshop myself. Put something different than hurley in that blank spot though.

My first thought was American Eagle-Reject-Emo-Drifter.

Simple photo shop. Patch Tool is fun but sometimes it compensates for lack of skill.

Got any others?

heh, I can see that. I was somewhat lacking for ideas. When it came to the actual picture. Same with the photoshop.. it's VERY simple, but that's pretty much what I was going for. Once I get more ideas, I plan on indulging into a more advanced photoshop edit and posting it up.

It'd be a bit better if you focused some of your photoshop on the car...steelies? Really? Stock steelies?

Wow. Maybe if I actually dressed like that and was 'emo' That would have worked. Good attempt, though.

I am not too good at photoshop, but I do deeply belive in one rule for all those who choose to use it:

DON'T JUST USE EFFECTS FOR THE SAKE OF EFFECTS. Don't just apply random filters to look artistic. Learn what they do then apply a specific filter to get the effect you disire, instead of trying to be artistic by coincidence.

I don't have any pictures of me with my car, but I found an old one of me with my horse... Slightly outdated, I have been working out to get back into shape recently...

Hummm.... I understand now, very cool.

As of late I have been trying to keep my posts short and sweet (For tramp, lol)

Usually on things like this I get some what "heated" in speaking/typing/voicing my opinion. My views on art as a whole are very strong so in saying some of this I hope not to offend anyone.

OP, What you did in that picture I enjoyed. I liked seeing the changes made, and appreciated the time taken to share with us/me your version of art. Many of you may disagree with me when i say it IS "art" and that is fine. Weather it is something you get paid for or just enjoy doing it, A picture is SUPPOSED to look how you want it to look, apparently this was the finished product because you posted it. You make it and love it, let the others love/hate as they please. Just remember to keep what you do "you" Good Job From Me!

As far as the whole its a clothing brand thing goes, "Ghast" Comes from "Ghastup" which is a clothing company mainly marketed to dancers and lovers of electronic music. I use this symbol for my avatar because when they dropped their line i was one of the first people to ever suit up. I also use the symbol to mark ALL the cars in my team/club "Team Ghast". Are we sponsored? no, but they prefer the logo over words as do I. At the same time not a lot of people know it is a clothing brand either, mainly because they do not really use the same symbol anymore. My nick name is "Ghast" because of my old stupid obsession of that clothing brand, its not really an obsession anymore just an addiction haha.

I for one have NO idea how to use photoshop, it opens up and all these tool tabs and menus pop up and then something happens and i do not know how to go back. I get very frustrated with it, i may just be retarded.

Any who, for some reason when reading what the thread had progressed too i felt you were receiving an excess amount of negativity (after rereading it is not so bad at all haha). So i felt compelled to A. Join you in the line of fire by putting myself out there as well, or B. Defend you or die trying. I think i did a little of both, but definitely died on the battle field ^^.

Love you all!

Art Is Resistance.

Keep doing that you are doing as long as it makes you happy and you enjoy it.

Well, you could pirate it, obviously illegal, or download a program called GIMP. It's a free editor very similar to Photoshop from what I've heard.

Kinda, i did a *Ninja Vanish* thing, earlier i did a *Microphone drop* and a *Seacrest Out* (Ryan seacrest from american idol), Oh and then i said bye in Japanese in some post somewhere. What i am going to do is think of different Exits people do and convert them to text on the computer screen whenever i am done talking. Am i making sense? because i am kinda tired. Basically I am going to keep doing random sign off's till i cant think of anything haha. I think it will be fun!

Thanks for calling!*hangs up phone*
