Anyone know how to blur faces using photoshop? I took some photos recently and would like to blur some of the faces so that they're not recognizable. I've been using the brush tool, but it seems to just smear a big black mark on the faces, which is kind of creepy. I'd rather blur the faces, keeping the same (or a similar) skintone. This looks as if someone took a big gob of ink and blotted out the people's heads.

I'm looking for black and white images of teenagers, parents of teenagers, together and alone - to use in the next issue of The Future Generation: a zine for subculture parents, kids, friends & others" - for the Raising Teens issue.

I would like to have a whole lot of different portraits - I'm entranced by the blurryness of age during that time

pm me if interested
thank you!

I introduced myself in the main forum but just wanted to say hello here too!
Looking forward to getting to know more artist mommies!

ok, here's the purple sculpture that I made for my son for his birthday. He named it the purple burple.

yay! I got it up! If anyone is in the vicinity, you can check this out at Union County College in Cranford, NJ (in the commons area). It will be up until the end of Nov (05). Title is "Flight Machine #1" and it is made of a steel frame covered in lycra with two working propellors on each end. It is approx 30 ft long. Ugh the joys of motherhood- just as I am uploading this my 3 yr old discovered what happens when you stick your fingers down your throat-gross!

I am thinking of getting a new logo for my biz. What I have now I actually did/changed myself, I had it originally professionally done then I took out the old graphic and added the flower. I don't like it. I think I still want to go with the flower motif maybe (I am open to other ideas) but I want it to look sharp, look professional. If anybody is interested in working with me for a new logo please let me know what you charge, turnaround time, samples of your work, etc. This is my logo now:

My mother is an amazing artist. She can draw faces from pcitures and stuff. I truly feel watching her from since I was a small child draw and paint allowed me to feel confident in expressing my own creativity. Here is a flower she drew she's given me permission to sell on my site:

This is a print from a chalk drawing she did, available here:
