Gary Bouton's Xara Stuff

[Ron Duke]

Again, truly amazing artwork Gare!

[Gare]

I thank you, Ron and all—

I needed to create a number of Thank You noted last week, and think I've sunk into a motif...Art Nouveau. Being an admirer of the commercial work of Alphonse Mucha, I hope this series is blessed from above.






This required a heck of a lot of Bevel>Rounded experimentation, converting to bitmap copies and actually Blend shading, especially for the shadows.

My Best,

Gary

This is just me messing around with the first design in post #412.

Oh, and I used Live Brush just a little to get a sense of the smooth curves in floral designs and typographic flourishes.

Love Live Brush. Generally traces well too if vector is desired.

Nice designs, Gary.

I'm a little behind Gary as my networks been down for a couple of weeks.
You peel off so damn much work, I'm in shock. Ahhh, I know, you're a machine posing as a person (it all looks so good).

I'm fan of ALPHONSE MUCHA myself. Have been for a long time.

What you have done is beautiful Gare.

Gare, what happened to the Macontosh chair layout you did?
I thought I had comIted on it but then it disappeared.
