How to make an animated GIF

Well Im back with another basic tutorial for how to make a simple animated GIF.



*Im only using Photoshop Cs2, so icon and selection maybe different on other versions of Photoshop. The same basic properties are the same though.

*The exact same things can be done on 'Image Ready', but again there maybe slight differences.
Using only screen shots or your own images. Im just using Photoshop as it comes as more of a convience to me.

Art again :)

Well what can I say it my ususal thing of posting my new art.
So here it is-> ('A lil' Round Red Fruit' http://mayonakasun.deviantart.com/art/A-lil-Round-Red-Fruit-155513372)

As you can see its a Pomegranate fruit.
This is a photo I took for my college work, as a reference for the project I was doing.
It brought instant inspiration, with the vibrant colours, the shapes and textures that are formed, I couldn't help but take a photo.

This was taken November 2009 using my Phone camera surspirsingly enough haha :).

Well thats it :)

Artist that work with decay

Well, when doing my art textiles essays on artists that work with decay,
I found that there where not many answers whilst I was searching

and that a lot just repeated themselves saying the same artist over and over such as Salavdor Dali, who only works with time decay like death and life not material decay which is what most people seemed to actually want.
So as I know how hard it is to find artists that work with decay on the web, for references for books to look for and reference in essays like myself, I thought I'd give you a small list of them.

So first one I though really helped me was a British contemporary artist called Helen Chadwick. She works with various mixed medias, such as rotten fruit, meat, urine, flowers and chocolate.
