Just a quick post to show what can be made in around 10 minutes with a nifty little java morphing application called Javamorph and of course my favourite image editor gimp. The Javamorph project can be found at Google Code or if you’re lucky enough to use Ubuntu it’s in your repositories so you can [...]

Chocolate Bonsai Wallpaper
Inspired (if that’s really the right word) by all this new Ubuntu artwork I decided to have a little go at creating a new wallpaper. As I said in my last post I like brown, it’s smooth, sexy and natural. So, after a little tinkering with an old photo of my Bonsai tree – ‘Gemmell’ [...]
