One Yellow Rose Digital Collage

By

Jan
2012

I was creating this piece for my Mom, whom we found out has cancer. Initially I created it with just the flower, but then decided to add a little magic, and the fairy and turn it into a digital collage. When I’d finished all that I realized that it would also just happen to work with the Gingersnap Creations blog color challenge, Soft Yellows and White. So I decided to enter it into that challenge.

Yellow roses have special meaning in our family, as does the phrase, “Never Apart in Heart.” We sign our emails, letters, and cards with NAIH as a reminder that no matter how far apart we may be, we are always together in heart. So even though I can’t physically be with my mom right now, I am with her, always. And thankfully, doing anything creative helps to keep my mind off of difficult things. So this art is for you, Mom.

I Love You.

Always.

Blood on the Dance Floor Collage

By

2012

These creations were inspired by the DANCE challenge at the Collage Obsession blog for this week, and they’re now a part of my ever-growing collection of Michael Jackson Art. If I hear or read the word, “Dance,” Michael is usually the first thing that comes to my mind. So he was an obvious choice for my subject matter for this great challenge.

Blood on the Dance Floor is one of my favorite MJ songs, and one of my favorite of his short films. There’s just something about it I love, musically and visually, so I love when I can incorporate it into my digital art too.

My Favorite Fairy

2012

My husband got me the new Paint Shop Pro software for Christmas, and I finally just got to start playing around with it. I had an older version on my laptop, so I am already familiar with the basics of PSP (though I am by no means a pro). I haven’t gotten to explore the new version in depth, but I wanted to take it for a test drive. So I decided that my granddaughter, Destiny is always the perfect subject. I had lots of fun turning her into a fairy, and then putting my new little fairy into two different surroundings. These digital collages are the results.

I love my  little Destiny fairy in a jar. The photo I used is from last Easter. I need to play around with some newer photos. :) But I loved in that dress, so I figured I’d just use it again for experimenting in PSP. I sure had fun!

Smooth Criminal Magic Art

By

Jan
2012

I haven’t been participating in too many art challenges lately so I decided it is time to get my creative juices flowing again. This week’s challenge at Collage Obsession couldn’t have come at a better time. The theme for this week is a Song Lyric…so I chose one of my Michael Jackson favorites, Smooth Criminal and created a digital collage around it.

Smooth Criminal Magic Art

Michael Jackson defined the word “Epic” where pop music and music videos are concerned, in my opinion. He blazed a trail and set the standard in what once was a very boring visual medium. And Smooth Criminal is a perfect example of his epic creative genius. It is MJ, and the Bad era, at its visual best. It not only showcased a great song, but it told a story, as all of Michael’s short films did. I never get tired of watching it…and my grandson now loves to watch it with me. He especially likes the MJ  anti-gravity “lean.” Such an epic MJ moment.

And so the legend lives on. :)

These Are Our Hands

By

Jan
2012

I wanted to make something special for my daughter for Christmas this year, and I also wanted it to be something that would be from her children to her. I got inspired by something I saw on Pinterest awhile back that involved scanning kids hands. So that is what I did, and this is what I turned that scan into with some digital magic…

These Are Our Hands Art

I altered the color and layered in some digital art to create this piece. Then I sent the final image to the CanvasPeople website and had them print it onto canvas and frame it. It turned out even better than I expected, and my daughter seemed to really love it. I also included with it the following poem (which I had my grandson write out on the card):

These are our hands

You used to hold

When we were 8

and 2 Years old.

I had so much fun creating this for her…even if it was incredibly challenging to get two little hands to hold still long enough to be scanned–especially since my scanner software was acting up that day and we had to do it 3 times before we got it right! But it was well worth it in the end.

MJ Stars Digital Collage

2011

I was having so much fun creating my starry night-themed angel tag yesterday for the Gingersnap Creations challenge that I decided to do another one. This time I used MJ as my subject though.

MJ Stars Digital Collage

This is kind of a combination of My Digital Sketchbook technique that I like to use, along with the image layering I use in Digital Collages. So now I have a brand new addition to my growing collection of Michael Jackson Art. And if fits in with the starry night theme too. :)

The Legend of Billie Jean

By

2011

Time for some more Michael Jackson Art to satisfy my MJ art cravings for awhile. :) My inspiration for this piece is one of Michael’s legendary performances…Billie Jean.

Michael Jackson Billie Jean

Michael was pure magic (to me anyway) so I always like to add a little touch of magic to my MJ digital art. And I’m always mesmerized by any of his legendary Billie Jean performances. The fedora. The sparkle jacket. The white glove. He defined the word MAGIC, and gave new meaning to the word EPIC. My digital art can’t even do justice to how much he inspires me.

But I try.

I Run With Vampires Collage

By

Nov
2011

This Digital Collage was inspired by Twilight and this week’s Window challenge at the Three Muses blog. With Breaking Dawn hitting theaters next week, I couldn’t be more excited. So it was fun to create this piece inspired by the Twilight saga, and my favorite vampire.

I Run With Vampires Digital Collage

I wanted this to be a bit dark (hence the blood on the window), but also keep a real Twilight feel to it, while adding my own little touches as well. See you soon, Edward.

Panther Dance Collage

By

Nov
2011

It’s time for another great digital collage challenge at Collage Obsession. The theme this time is Black Cats. So the first thing that came to mind for me was the Michael Jackson Panther Dance sequence from his Black or White short film. It’s one of my favorite short films, and I love the Panther Dance itself. I remember when that video first came out, there was so much controversy surrounding it–people thought it was too violent. But that was the point: Michael was making a statement about all the inequality, prejudice, and violence in the world. All of Michael’s short films told a story, and some, like Black or White, carried important messages...IF one was willing to pay attention and read between the lines. Michael caught a lot of flack for that short film, but for the people with an open mind and heart,  and a willingness to see and hear its message, it was very powerful. And it truly is one of his best short films.

So this Digital Collage is dedicated to Michael Jackson, and the Panther Dance.

See, It’s Not About Races
Just Places

Where Your Blood
Comes From
Is Where Your Space Is
I’ve Seen The Bright

I’m Not Going To Spend

MJ’s Wings

By

2011

This is a new digital collage and photo edit I’ve decided to use for the Three Muses Wings challenge. Michael Jackson is a favorite art subject of mine, so I love it when I have the chance to use him for a challenge piece too.

MJ's Wings

I’ve added some magic sparkles and feathers also, something I tend to do a lot when I’m creating fantasy type digital pieces. Seemed appropriate for this one anyway. I wanted it to appear like a little touch of magic was coming out of Michael and into his shadow on the stage. I hope you like my little piece of Michael Jackson Art.
