Fun With Photoshop by Ben Jones

Do you have mad Photoshop skills? Show us.

Things are still pretty crazy around here, so until I get a chance to post, I’ll keep you entertained with the following.

As you know if you follow Matt’s blog, my colleague Joanne’s dog Evie is somewhat of an office mascot. What you may not know is that Joanne is, like me, a die-hard Lost fan. Not only does she love the riveting storylines and character development, she also thinks Sawyer is cute.

So last week, I combined her two loves into a desktop for her computer:

Your turn! Post your links in the comments and we’ll let the community decide who wins the contest.

    This inspired my rediculously bad photoshop of the superdog:

    Hahahaa!! That’s amazing Ben! I never could figure out how to use that darn photoshop!! Good Old Microsoft Paintbrush is the way to go :D Benjamin that’s a cool picture, superdog all the way wink

    Hmm..I still haven’t watched Lost but everyone says it’s amazing! I’m more of a “24” Addict…watched all four seasons…Oh My God such a brilliant series…Thank God I don’t live in the US where season 5 is already out! I can’t stand waiting from week to week to watch each episode! I prefer buying the DVD and watching the whole season in 4 days =D Heck, one of my friends finished all 4 seasons in 6 days smile

    Good Luck to all applicants! (this is becoming the ending of all my posts from now until decision time :D ) and Good Luck to the selection commmittee! Kudos to your efforts guys, keep it up! And has international selection begun yet?

    Okay, wait. What exactly is the contest? Combining two things we love in a funny way? Or does there have to be a dog in there? Or does everyone just love dogs?

    PS – At first, I thought your colleague just really loved “lost dogs” and I was laughing hysterically.

    Here the chap and his dog are as members of Albania’s dynasty; specifically, the chap is King Zog and his dog is arbitrarily inserted.

    GM’s #2 is awesome – although I think the plane’s number should be 2010 – or is there some significance to the 201S?

  23. gm says:
    February 28, 2006 at 10:27 am

    flubby, i dont know either, it seems like they have a block on outside linking, but then i can occasionally get around it, so that’s probably not it. anyway, i’ve uploaded the pics to a diff site. mail me if u want the pswd for later :D
