I've been looking for great emotions for these last years when I watch some Formula 1 GP. Our Brazilian pilots are trying to bring that, of course never like our hero Ayrton Senna. But this last Sunday I stuck in front of TV, it was the time to the last F1 Grand Prix of 2009, and it was not the race that make me feel amazed, but the circuit and the building, it was in Abu Dhabi, something really terrific!
I was browsing the other day and saw a Sony-Ericsson Xperia X1 with a beautiful wallpaper on it and thought to myself "Can I make one that looks like it but using only GIMP?"
And guess what? I could! And with this tutorial so can you.
Step 1
We first create a new document, you can make it any size, though I used 1600 x 1200. Setting by default Black as your Foreground color, we can ask in the advanced options to use it as our background.
For me, one of the most nostalgic things there is, is neon signs, even if there's plenty of them everywhere. It just gives me this feeling that something has just traveled through time. I know that sounds crazy, but I bet many of you feel the same way.

Job Hall is the illustrator responsible for the amazing images of TYR Sport and his photo illustrations skills are amazing. If you like well retouched photos, sports photography and everything in between this will sure inspire you. Enjoy!
A couple of weeks ago, a reader brought to our attention the work of photographer Roger Deckker. I'm really digging Roger's work, the portraits in particular. He's gotten the chance to photograph such a wide array of people ranging from Spike Lee, to Oasis, The Strokes, Karen O, David Rockefeller, Gerard Butler, Owen Wilson… His portfolio is really impressive!
My Milk Toof is an ongoing creative project by Californian artist Inhae Lee. In her blog, Inhae shares the adventures of two little polymer clay teeth, ickle and Lardee through a series of photographs. The execution is excellent, and the time and care she puts into creating each and every piece is reflected in the quality of her work. I've been following these stories for awhile now so I thought I'd share a couple with you today.
Benjamin Güdel is a very talented illustrator and comic artist based in Zurich. He has his roots in the underground comic world but he says he became an illustrator in order to earn a living. His dynamic and expressive drawings, which are mostly begun by hand and then finished digitally, can be seen in various Swiss publications such as Weltwoche, Soda and DU as well as gracing posters for the Berlin avant-garde theatre, the Schaubühne." http://www.hotelfox.dk/
I think I said it before, but I'll say it once more: I totally love illustration series. There are some really cool series themes out there, and I guess is a little bit of my duty to find them and share its awesomeness with you guys! Today, is the Super Heroes and Villains Alphabet!
