Vote for my design for the Firefly Music Festival!
The Woodlands in Dover, Delaware 2013 Lineup: Red Hot Chili Peppers Tom Petty and the…

Hey everyone!!! So I entered Firefly’s poster contest- and my design is now up for public vote!!! It would mean the world to me to win this- not just to get exposure for my art, but to attend this hella cool festival that just started last year in Dover, De -  my home town! (I mean, shouldn’t a home town hero win???) I can’t afford a ticket, so this is probably my one chance at attending the festival that’s a mile from my house. Please vote, reblog, and tell your friends! (My image is the one with a stag.)

Thanks a ton!!! 
Take Care,

Hello, friends!

I’m working on a new print project involving (preferably reoccurring) dreams. If you’ve had an interesting one, please share it with me! I’ll be illustrating it using mixed media on a pillowcase. If you would be willing, please message me your dream!

Thank you,
Take Care,
Mary Kate

how did you do that one picture like you have on facebook where the caption was "cover to my non-existent album" that is so cool I know a lot of people doing pictures like that (a lot) but how?

Hey!
I made that in photoshop with two separate images- a self portrait and a picture that I took of Port Mahon

I then used the blending(?) layering(?) tool in photoshop… i think that one may have been called “difference,” but I made that like 4 years ago, so I don’t remember for certain… Then I messed with the opacity of the layers to get the right balance. The cool thing about using the tool and not just layering, is that you can really pick which parts of each image come through the most.

Unfortunately the laptop that I had PS on died like 3 years ago, so that’s why I haven’t been working in that program at all… though I really do miss it. I would double check the name of the tool for you, but I can’t. :c

hope this helped a bit, though!

for those who want to know what I’m talking about, here’s a link to the image.

and if you know the answer to this better than I do, feel free to message me and I’ll post it for the anon!
