Stayed up til 2am doing a new Photoshop project 

Mushroom tarot - designed by S.Blamer

I'm on only 4-hours of sleep and feel a bit loopy

Walking up to Rise and Grind 3133 to meet N for our regular thurs bfast together. This café says 37 google minutes, which is further than we would usually go. We like to rotate café every week

This deck will be for N's bday which is Nov 1

It will be difficult for me to keep it a secret because i'm so excited about it

Make Playing Cards is a website that lets you design and print-on-demand your own playing cards. I have used it several times before: 137 tarot, 137 squares, MOTU flash cards.

PHOTOSHOP vs. GIMP

I instead use Gimp these days, because it's FREE

Gimp is kind of frustrating, most times, because it isn't the same as Photoshop: incl. copy-pasting, selecting shapes, combining layers. i end up hunting around the screen, making blunders. Plenty of common features aren't intuitive. I swear my version is glitchy too. Most of the tools and menu items i never use (and couldn't even guess what they do) which can make it feel overwhelming. Even still, last night it was very fun
