BirdArt meme? A question!
Now, I have been thinking of opening a meme for Bird Art so I took the images from today and played around a little. The first one is filter Conté Crayon with canvas texture in PS CS5 and the second one is black and white abstract.
If any of you are interested in a BirdArt meme please tell me. I need at least 10 people to get started.
