"When In Rome" Grafitti Design at the Roman Colloseum by Above

September 14, 2009 from aloa's blog

We have reported about grafitti artist ABOVE - based in California - numerous times. He started his Grafitti Europe Tour in June where I talked to him about his projects in Copenhagen, Berlin, and Madrid. Now he sent us a great video from the Colosseum in Rome.

I found this "gladiator" in front of the Roman Colosseum where he was asking 5 € from tourists to take a photo with him. I bargained with him and got waaay more than i could of ever imagined.

 Simple Underwater Scene in Photoshop
A few weeks ago I received an email from a reader asking me if I could write a tutorial showing an underwater scene. I have written some tutorials on this subject like the 3D type made out of water or the underwater scene for Digital Arts in 2008. However I was watching TV this weekend when I started to watch I, Robot. The opening titles of that movie is awesome and really inspired me to write this tutorial.
