branchandrootActually I totally wanted to talk about my icon, because I'm hugely proud of it.
That was my own photography and Photoshop work! And it started life as an oak tree by the side of the highway, next to a John Deer signboard. Which is why it now has that odd sort of cloudy, mist-like stuff at the bottom. Yay for the smudge tool!
It's also actually two shots of the same tree, one in full summer leaf, and one with just winter branches, superimposed and 'shopped to hell and gone. You can see a larger version of it on white here. It's really kind of my signature for my own sites. I've always been much about trees.
After that, of course, it was the easiest thing in the world to put my name down the side, select that strip, and Inverse it. And there we go!
