This tutorial will walk you through the simple steps used to turn a regular photograph into an interesting digital painting illustration, using Photoshop's Filter Gallery and the Smudge Tool. Depending on the photograph you choose, it shouldn't take you more than a couple of hours to complete.
The wallpaper of this week is an amazing photo taken by Everaldo Coelho. If you don't know Everaldo, first of you should :) he is a design legend especially in the realm of UI and icon design. Everaldo is also senior designer at Apple and as we can see from this wallpaper a very talented photographer.

The book suggestion of this week is the next one in my list and I will start reading it this weekend. It's called Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things. I have been waiting to read this book for a while. I got it a few weeks ago as a present and now it's the right time. Below I will list some info about the book.
