Not only can digital manipulation be used to change the look of photos, it can also take an original drawing and change it completely without one having to redraw it. I have mainly used this idea to create new pieces for gifts which I have added poems to.
2007 (5x7) For this mother's day piece, I took a colored pencil drawing I had done, cropped it and manipulated it using a "sponge" filter and added a poem I wrote.
| How I became "As I grew throughout the years , You let me make my own decisions, While keeping your advice very near. You molded me with patience and love, along with a little help from dad (and, I'm sure, a little from above). You helped me learn to trust while also being cautious, That it's ok to ask for help, as it is fulfilling to lend a hand and how to love as well as deserving to be loved. " © mlw'07

This piece was done for a friend's birthday. It combines a cropped black/ white version of an original drawing with a cropped colored version placed in the center along with an original poem.

I have always enjoyed taking photographs and like using the computer to manipulate photos to create other works. I like that the entire look of a simple object can be changed just by using different techniques. Below are some examples using Photoshop.
