So last week I went to a PhotoShop and Illustrator class taught by Andy Anderson, and they rocked.  I was worried that it would be a waste, or too advanced, but he really nailed it.  While I did already know several of the techniques he covered, he taught so many new, faster ways to do them, I’m already shaving tons of time off things I have to do over and over, freeing me up for more important things, like blogging and playing Majong online. 

Here’s a great example.  I could do this last week, but it would have taken me three times as long and wouldn’t have looked half as good.  Here’s a photo of a flower, and a fence.  And I want to take the flower, and make it look like a mural, painted on the fence.
