aversion 028 // Do you see the big boi ? 🐋 // Error is not only the absolute error of believing what is false, but also the quantitative error of believing more or less strongly than is warranted by the degree of credibility properly attaching to the proposition believed in relation to the believer's knowledge. A man who is quite convinced that a certain horse will win the Derby is in error even if he does win.

This is sort of what I meant when I said in my Workflow tutorial (pinned to my story highlights) about seeing a very basic and flat image and seeing potential in it. Every element besides the landscape I brought in or painted in. Doing these every day provides a really great warmup for my brain, and it also let’s me sort through my thoughts and just get rid of the negative ones. A lot of my pieces look foreboding or evil, but in actuality they’re not a representation of how I carry myself, but rather my unwanted thoughts or feelings characterized and edited away.
Methods used in this piece:
- Center statue image brought in, used Photoshop’s “Match Color” to blend to the flat image, adjusted curves and masked in overlapping grass at the base for realism
- Upper statues and buildings masked in, played with different Blending Modes and adjusted curves to fill into the “haze” of the flat image
- Center horizontal bar is just a masked shape, filled with a neutral Gray > Filters > Stylize > Wind (set to Scatter & From the Left)
- The hand is painted in with a digital dry brush (very easy to paint in objects over a previous image because you can eyedropper the values around the subject really easily)
- Out of focus crow painted in, left side. Single color & then applied a Lens Blur with about a 60 value radius
- Water image cresting the middle box is just a stock photo set to Screen, hand masked the outline of the waves
- Post color grading done with Photoshop’s Camera Raw Filter, added a light vignette and added light noise to blend everything together.
- Additional “haze” effect can be easily created by filling a new layer with a light grey, clipping it to your composition layer (merge all layers before you do this), and then set to Soft Light around 20-40% opacity.

aversion 026 // Read for more 💬 Today is a traditional Aversion edit, really simple paint-over with the wind and color vignettes using a digital acrylic brush (✒opacity jitter on). My original intent for this series was to portray surreal nature discoveries, things you'd typically only experience in dreams, impossible architecture and lighting. Inception will always be a large inspiration to me for that sort of creative output. I want to be sure that I don't stray too far from that original intent as I easily get carried away, and this series is definitely my most popular as far as engagement and reach
Quote of the day: “It is as if the stuff of which we are made were totally transparent and therefore imperceptible and as if the only appearances of which we can be aware are cracks and planes of fracture in that transparent matrix. Dreams and percepts and stories are perhaps cracks and irregularities in the uniform and timeless matrix. Was this what Plotinus meant by an 'invisible and unchanging beauty which pervades all things'?”
― Gregory Bateson, Mind and Nature
