i'm obsessed with water, but i hate dry sand and crowded public beaches, and i don't like jellyfish or sand crabs or those little fish that swim around your ankles at the shore down in the carolinas. i used to vacation in maine, and so i prefer the north atlantic, where the water is cold enough to turn your lips blue, and doesn't have things living in it close to the shore. if there aren't very many people around, i can deal with the sand for that.everything i thought of for this project sounded like a postsecret confession. that wasn't really my intention, but i like it regardless.
the half-transparent text in the background is "sea-fever" by john masefield; that layer was done in photoshop, as were the colors and effects on the background picture. everything else was a mixture of photoshop and illustrator: the ship's wheel, anchor, and seashells were all flat graphics gone over with live trace, cleaned up and emptied of fill with live paint, and placed over found photographic images before a second cleanup in photoshop. (it was more complicated than it sounds.)
