As I promised yesterday, here’s a quick little tutorial on how to make a cool digital background for posters, notecards, paintings, or whatever you’d like.

Happy Black Friday, all! I hope nobody got trampled or otherwise injured in the frenzied shopping last night or today. I elected to stay home and keep me and my money safe while I recover from too much yummy dinner yesterday. Of course, I also decided to make art to show you all.
