I’m really enjoying the animation feature in Photoshop, which is an easy to make your own animations. I made one this morning, using these 8 cat cutouts I made a while back. I used the single shot I took here to chop up into separate elements, put them into sequential frames in Photoshop in an …

OH14
I had such a brilliant time on Sunday, when I joined my friends Jo & Stu and rode our bikes out to Rondebosch/Newlands to join the first Open House Architecture tour this year. These tours are periodically organised by local architect Ilze Wolff, to showcase the architecturally significant buildings in Cape Town and surrounds. This …
