Here is what he sent in with the selected piece we are featuring:

Attached is an image that I think is interesting... I don't really have any favorites though. It took two episodes of Walker Texas Ranger to complete the image (I don't remember if those are a 1/2 hour or an hour long).

I made the image using Shape Layers and Layer Styles, which gives this image some unique qualities.

I can scale it down to a 4K file size, e-mail it to someone else and they can scale it up to poster size without degrading the quality at all (shape layers and layer styles are scalable without quality loss). I was also experimenting with Vector Masks, which is what made it possible to get the look of intertwined shapes.

The details of how I watch bad television and experiment with Photoshop are detailed in the last chapter of the PhotoshopWorld Dream Team Book.
