My Most Recent Work....

What's Next?
Keep an eye out in the weeks to come, I had a fun idea to do a series of prints similar to be Beauty Is print that uses stunning models in various states of zombiedom. I'm going to call the series the Zombie Girls take NY. It should be fun!

I am also working on getting a unified list of my favorite textures, gradients, patterns, etc... There are so many amazing resources here it's hard to keep up!

Aaaahhhh today has been another nutty one. Trying to get deadlines out of the way and find time to get a little of my own design work in....Sigh....Can never seem to keep up with it all.

I wanted to say thank you by the way to all the great feedback I've gotten on my latest print:

I actually am going to upload a few more along the same line to create a series of zombified beauties (lol)

Feel free to drop me a line anytime or leave a comment here on my journal. It has been so much fun meeting and speaking with all my new DA friends. Being stuck in the dungeon all day (aka my office basement) is sometimes hard since I am not around anyone while my kids are at school. This has been nice to make friends even if they are virtual.

That's it for now. I'll post an update once I've added some new prints.

Welcome, welcome one and all....
First and foremost a HUGE thank you to Lilyas for this amazing free CSS journal template. It won 1st place in the ^JunkbyJen's Think Pink II Contest. The theme is dedicated to Jen's project to support the breast cancer research.

I am very excited to have a great new journal to work with. Please be kind and patient as I work out the kinks of learning how to customize CSS.

Below are a few links to my other journals that feature some great resources...Hope you enjoy them...

I could still really use some help in figuring out how to use this. I would love to be able to do some of the really cool features that I see other people doing. Anyone willing to offer some assistance? It would be greatly appreciated

Can someone please tell me how you are customizing and adding stamps and shouts to the side of the profiles? I tried to add someone's stamp to my shoutbox and now all that show's up is the code and I don't know how to remove it.

Thanks!

PS Keep an eye out for a new feature on my journals. After countless hours of searching on my part, I am going to start compiling the best of the best textures, stocks, etc... that I have found and creating them in different journals to share this fabulous works with others. So check back often! ]]> ~rdaassoc07 Life and Other Random Thoughts http://rdaassoc07.deviantart.com/journal/15039677/ http://rdaassoc07.deviantart.com/journal/15039677/ Sat, 13 Oct 2007 06:51:18 PDT

Greetings and salutations one and all. If any of you are reading this you are probably doing so more out of curiosity as to who the hell this chick is that has added you to her friends list...Well I thought it was long overdue that I took a second to introduce myself formally and to tell you a little bit about what I would like to accomplish.

For starters my name is Rebecca but most everyone calls me Becka. I'm 32 and I live in Washington, IL. I've been married for 5 years and I have 2 children and 2 step-children. My daughter is 15 and sophmore in high school (for those of you now rapidly doing the math, I was 16 and in my junior year of high school when I had her)

My step-daughter is 3 months younger than my daughter. My step-son is 13 and my son is 9.

I am a self-taught graphic-designer and photography manipulator. It is my passion, a very part of my soul. When I am viewing an image or an object my mind immediately starts to filter through all the various ways that it can be blended and married together with other pieces to create something beautiful. I have often said that I don't ever really see the photo in front of me but instead the story inside of it. Recently I have not had as much time to create manipulations with work but now that things are slowing down I am very much looking forward to creating some new work.

As a side note if you are interested in showcasing any of your photo manipulations, I host a group on Flickr that is now 700 members strong and growing every day. It is called Retouch Magic, you can view the it by clicking on this [link]

I will be back in touch again soon. Thanks for stopping by. Send me a shout out or two, I always love making new friends!
