This. This is on my mind!

This piece is SO much better than where it started. Yay!

From a few months ago, traipsing around some ruins. It hasn't called to me as a layer yet. I love me some texture, but this almost has too much?

I stacked that teal texture with a rectangles composition and a paper collage layer to shake things up. Don't know where this is going, so it's definitely #WIPWednesday. Yet another potential series -- am I ever good at starting those!

The lab experiments with painted tissue paper, the teal version, layered in Photoshop to make a handy texture.

Feels like I should update my RedBubble site, but not sure these florals make my cut. Better than they were, but am I just doing this to check off a list item?

I thought this was a fairly abstracted photo, but I added more obscuring, because that's what I do. Photo + collage + 9 more layers of texture = first file with a 2023 in it!

Thank you, whoever just bought this image from Redbubble! Findhorn Dunes, a digital collage with 12 layers, was created after a wonderful stay in Nairn that I fashioned into a self-directed residency. More here: https://www.lizruest.com/2018/findhorn-dunes/

When your family knows to alert you about textures before cleaning up. :) #BetterWithTexture #TextureHunterGatherer

Asemic writing, sneaking into the layer mask on a work in progress... You can hardly see it (hint: along the bottom) but I'm happy it's there. :)

It's a slow week for art, but my altered spelling book still calls to me as I walk by. I'm pleased to say that I've completed a full pass -- something on each of 65 page spreads. Now, I can add more -- here's today's.

I'm not much in the holiday spirit this year, but I did come up with this possible image. Suits the solstice, say. And my need for minimalism.

I enjoy updating my Redbubble site every so often, and seeing how my work looks on their products. In case you see anything you like, here it is: http://lizruest.redbubble.com/

I've been printing some digital work, after quite the break -- how do I do this again? Oh yeah, signed on the back with a marker (it's on aluminum). How do you sign your #digitalart? In the file, on the front, on the back, other?

This piece is "an infinite cloak of air", 10 layer digital collage. Details here: https://www.lizruest.com/2021/aninfinitecloakofair/.

#digitalcollage #betterwithtexture

#introduction I'm a #digitalcollage artist with a background in tech & editing. I bring #painting #photography #printmaking and #analogcollage into #Photoshop and mess around. The goal? #composition that hovers between #landscape and #abstraction. Always #betterwithtexture.

I like #books (TheStoryGraph!) #movies (Letterboxd) and whatever MMORPG my guild is playing (currently GW2).
