Freedom Fire

Freedom Fire

Do you ever feel like you need a change?

That life seems dull,

You’ve only yourself to blame.

To ignite a difference no need for cash,

Fuel you imagination,

And rise from the ash.

Feed your fire,

Spread the flames,

Feel the freedom,

To ignite a change.

Be determined, express yourself and grow,

You may spark inspiration,

In others while you glow.

This life is yours so take control,

Be happy and unique,

Full of passion and soul.

Feed your fire,

Spread the flames,

Feel the freedom,

To ignite a change.

Focus your ambition and be whom you desire,

If you mix it up,

You could really catch fire.

Unleash that talent and develop your vision,

Believe in your spirit,

It’s your decision.

Feed your fire,

Spread the flames,

Feel the freedom,

To ignite a change.

So stretch your wings and prepare for flight,

Like a wild blazing phoenix,

That scorches the sky.

Use your ideas, be creative and dream,

There are no limits,

So soar high and free.

Feed your fire,

Spread the flames.

Feel the freedom,

To ignite a change.

(Repeat)

To ignite a change.

(Whisper)

Feed your fire…

Femme Fatal

"Femme Fatal"
(March 2011)

My entry for Talenthouse.com's search for a new logo for heavy rock band Five Finger Death Punch; "Five Finger Death Punch needs a new identity; graphic designers and illustrators around the world are asked to design a logo to reflect the band’s unique image and vigorous vocals."

Femme Fatal (the opposite of a femme fatale although she is beautiful and alluring she would be fatal to your health and very dangerous) is a combination of photographs, hand drawn designs and digital modification using Photoshop.

She is a death punch girl branded with an iconic Death Punch tattoo, flaunting the knucklehead gas mask while clutching a guitar. Her styling is around the theme of war, metal and death, her hair is a vibrant red to coincide with the bands previous colour schemes and I envision her on an album cover or t-shirt.

Remember remember...

"Remember Remember..."

(March 2011)

“Gazing on a enchanting evening laced with fireworks illuminating the starry sky with bursts of magical colours.”

My entree for the Redbubble.com photoshop challenge: "To create a fantastical image utilizing the powerful new features of Photoshop by modifying an existing photo or creating an image from scratch. We’re looking for the absurd, the astonishing and the downright whimsical."

A combination of original images, photo’s taken from my Urban Enchantment Collection, my own creative designs and old snaps of firework displays I loved all digitally manipulated and enhanced in Photoshop.

It is meant to have the feeling of a magical night time and that perhaps the young girl is wishing on the stars. I used a lot of glowing feather effects to make it look the fireworks were lighting up the night sky. The fireworks themselves are actually images of another young girl and I manipulated them to look like beautiful explosions of colour.
