About the Optimism of Color Blog
For 365 days, I am posting a photo or piece of art that I have created that reflects what I call the Optimism of Color. Through vibrant colors and bold visceral forms, these works shout out my joy at being alive, and my good fortune at being able to continue to make art after a near death experience.
Each of the images I post brings a smile to my face. I hope they bring you similar joy and laughter through the Optimism of Color.

Photoshop Lomo Effect
So I found a magazine that has a tutorial on Lomo Effects on Photoshop. I like many others have used filter apps such as instagram or snapseed to create this lomo effects but was lost when it came to Photoshop because there isn’t really a filter button that just lets you do this stuff. You actually have to play with the Levels and Curves adjustments. So I created this photo which I thought look pretty sweet 🙂 Just changed adjustments and added in some text and grunge textures. Hope you like!
