Friday Illustrations
- Famed pop artist David Hockney has started using Photoshop as his new medium. Apparently Russell Brown & co. had him out for a visit to Adobe nearly 20 years ago to introduce Photoshop; looks like the seed has finally sprouted.
- Emma McNally’s pencil drawings feature a “borderline OCD” level of detail.
- Liquify, anyone? I like the subtlety of this Bosch ad.
- Get yer geek on with a set of Nerd Merit Badges.
- Kuler:
- PSDTUTS offers pointers for Using Adobe Kuler to Enhance Your Photoshop Color Workflow.
- This isn’t just theoretical hand-waving, either: kickass illustrator Nick La uses Kuler in his design process. Check out his portfolio to see some beautiful pieces. [Via]

“It’s probably only in the past year that the computer’s got quick enough to keep up with the draughtsman,” said Hockney – what an idiot.
It’s been many months since CS4 bit came out and there is a dearth of 64bit plugins. I know of only 2 or 3 3rd party plugins (Neat Image, Ez Mask, Topaz).
[Here’s the list of what I knew of three months ago. –J.]
Is the conversion from 32bit to 64bit so difficult? Are there no tools to make the conversion easier? It is a terrible waste of time to have to constantly switch back and forth between 32 and 64 bit versions.
If vendors are waiting for critical mass of 64 bit users, they are making a mistake. CS4 Users are holding back going to 64bit systems because they are still waiting for the 64bit plugins!
In addition to what John has listed, I know of a x64-bit version of PTLens, excellent software which corrects lens pincushion/barrel distortion, etc. And Curvemeister, the splendid “curves on steroids” plugin, is now being beta-tested for 64-bit.
