Photoshop disasters

It's always in the back of your mind as an artworker that one day you'll forget to turn a layer on/off and submit what you think is a finished image with a glaring mistake. Somehow it seems that a lot of images get through to press without being checked out.

Photoshop disasters collects these images for all to see and some are truly disastrous...such as the one pictured which is on the front page of the Givenchy site!

River runs low

Hoping to catch a salmon on the River Derwent in the Lake District last week, I was disappointed to find the river the running very low. No chance of a salmon but caught two tasty trout and surprisingly a feisty perch.

Ever been to Cockermouth? Its a great place stay with over £1m of EU money invested in sprucing up the town centre. My thanks goes to Dave Smith, Fisheries Manager and his long standing friend Vic Sempel who looked after us on the river and in the local Conservative Club rooms.
