Palette Simplification
I've now been using Photoshop for 13 years and have pretty much learned all the in's and out's of what truly is a groundbreaking killer app. Being a creative I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting ways of creating and manipulating imagery. Back at Art School, one of the most influential teachers Ive had in my life, the lovely Donna Willard-Moore, told us of a method painters use when in the creative doldrums, and that is to reduce their palette to just a few colours or hues. So I've taken this back to basics approach to photoshop and having another look at the built in filters that have been there since the early days.
When a creative first gets their hands on photoshop you tend to go on a bit of a filter frenzy embossing, rippling, warping and generally causing mayhem to your images. Most of it comes off a bit short in the awesome dept, but its loads of fun and many a genesis of an idea comes from this kind of random play.
Now I'm looking back at these filters with a few years under my belt as an artist and seeing If I can create some hot stuff.
A friends Death Metal band is my muse, and my old favourite, the 'glowing edges' filter and a yellow - red gamut is my limited palette.

New DBH Submission
This is actually a re-working of an old design. I'd love to see it printed, I think it will make a standout shirt. I'll post when it is approved so you can go vote for it if you like it.

Random Band 3
Just had to do one more for the day.

To be a saint is the exception; to be upright is the rule. Err, falter, sin, but be upright. To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. Sin is a gravitation.

Random Band 2

I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
- Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890 - 1969)

Random Bands
Via Jotham
Was put onto this idea by Jotham. Have always been amused by the creation of band names, album titles etc derived from random means. This seems to be a good contemporary way of doing it.
Here is what i came up with. Leave a link in the comments and show me yours.

Although prepared for martyrdom, I preferred that it be postponed.
