Playing around in Adobe Illustrator today I created this "pop" self-portrait thanks to this post by Terry grant of Portland, Oregon--she directed viewers of her portrait to this great quick tutorial "how to do pop portraits".
this was fun--and the "pop" aspect--with minimal drawing allows me to appear nice and young---like going back in time some.
I have been taking classes in both Adobe Photoshop CS2 and Adobe Illustrator CS2 at the California School of Professional Fabric Design, where I am a currently studying to be a designer. A year ago I would not have known how to do this--to draw this in Illustrator (the basis was a digital photo)and save the image for the web, and upload it to my blog...
Now, thanks to the Fabric Design School computer classes I am exploring more and more creative ways to use these great design programs.
And for more practice (and fun!)I also created this pop-portrait of my partner, Larry...the quintessential folk musician.

Wow! These are great, Aurora...maybe Kes and I could make our own next time we're down at your place.
This looks like fun! You know today I've been challenged if I was a poet, about my journaling, and making fun faces just to name a few. I'm going to have to try them all. I love the ideas in the comments that you've already received!
