Superstitious Photoshop

Apple Insider is reporting new details into Photoshop CS6, codenamed “Superstition.”

Among the new features, some of the items that excite me is there may be more 3D features coming to Photoshop including a perspective crop tool and 3D material eyedropper.

AppleInsider is also reporting the interface will look a little darker, like what is used in Aperture. I’m not sure what to think about that yet. But I’m not too worried if the look changes. If everything stays the same, the old noggin turns to mush.

This is the kind of superstition I wouldn’t mind. They are predicting Photoshop CS6 will release next spring, 2012.

Christmas is coming! Right now, I am working on a coloring book that will be available for next Christmas. This page is near the beginning of the book. It is based on the Christmas carol, “Away in a Manger.”

Spear Cartoon 3820 — "I don't care if I do have a candle in my mouth. I'm still cold!"

It must be tough to be a jack-o’-lantern. You sit out in the cold for weeks, then some teenager smashes you to smithereens. Why would anyone do it, unless they can’t give up show business?

In the Water

Cartoon of a boy and a shark. The shark says, “Hey, Buddy! Let me know when you’re going to get in the water, okay?”

I read an article today about shark attacks in Australia. It reminded me of stories where authorities cautioned people to stay out of the water during sunup or sundown. It made me think about sharks that are so obnoxious, they could ask for a heads up from unsuspecting individuals.

If a shark speaks to you, run the other way!

I thought this would also work for Illustration Friday’s word for this week. It’s “scary.”
