Photoshop 101

Here's the story.

The trip to the barber last weekend turned out EXACTLY the way I wanted it to be - a real good trim.

So I got bored and wondered - what if I had a more exciting haircut...virtually.

After two minutes of photoshopping I uploaded the picture onto my msn avatar.

Within a couple of minutes - I received unintentional responses that virally multiplied into one of the most fascinating pranks i've ever pulled on my friends - and yourselves alike.

Here are some of the 'encouraging' responses received on MSN.

This is what I started work with.


Through the two minute editing process - I've found some passion in life to photoshop hairstyles. Designer for hire, anyone? :)
