Art filters and wishing I could do this by hand.

We went to IKEA today to look for bookshelves. I felt inspired by all of the boxes and crates in the warehouse and whipped out my camera. Unfortunately, none of the pictures looked right to me. I couldn't get the lighting I wanted.

When I got home I tried to salvage some of the pictures and started playing with filters in both Google's Picasa and Photoshop. I was definitely feeling more of a comic book, artsy tone today. I would love to have actual artistic talent.

The two pictures below are pre- and post- cross-processing. The one on the right is nearly the same picture from straight out of the camera and the one on the left is the base picture I used for all of the other artistic filters.
