Bedtime For Bonzo

Now I must admit that I didn’t contribute much to this CD cover. The seeder of this concert had a little inspiration from an old Reegan movie, whose chimp star shared the same nickname with John Bonham. A fellow trader took the idea and stuck good ole Bonzo’s head on the chimp’s. All I merely did was to do some skin tone colour corrections, as well as to digitally enhance the picture, which was originally of a lower resolution. I just thought I’d put this up because it really is so quirky.

This is one of my personal favourites. Not because it’s particularly great, but because it’s a picture of my favourite guitarist of all time, Jimmy Page. The guitar in the original b/w scan from the book Portraits by Neal Preston was very blurred and not suitable for a wallpaper. So I had to take a picture of the Gibson guitar from the Gibson website, and merge it with the photo. I added wings from a sketch, and using similiar techniques as the first 2 pictures in the gallery, coloured and added highlights to the picture.

This Kate Hudson picture was made using a scan of the cover of the Sept 2000 issue of Vanity Fair. First I decolourised the original photograph. Then I had to carefully remove the magazine text from the scan using Adobe Photoshop.

After recolouring the photograph, I used some highlights effects and blended the picture with a scan of a Chinese painting.

Note: the actual date of completion of this picture is not clear

The Natalie Portman photograph used for this picture was taken from a scan of a page from Vanity Fair. What I did was to decolourise the photograph, leaving only the background in its original form. Then I smoothened the photograph and recoloured the picture. After that, I used some filters to make the background more painting-like. Finally, with some highlight effects, I blended the two sections merged them to form the picture.
