Stuck In Customs

A few more of my recent faves… as always, more on my alt IG.

I often get requests from students around the world to answer questions about how I run my art business, travel, etc. Recently one of those dropped into my IG inbox so I decided to record the answers as a vlog of sorts so that it is available for anyone in the future. I hope some of you find some value in it. 🙂

Here’s part 2!

I wrote a blog post about this previously. For those who like vlogs more…
Oh, and FYI: Contains some descriptions of bodily functions that may cause issues for those of a squeamish disposition.

Know anyone who travelled to New Zealand and didn’t return with their gear? I might have stumbled across it! Check out the new newsletter for more on the story and maybe we can find out what actually happened. (Photo credit: Chris Watson)

My favorite recent AI images in quite a colorful style. I post more over at @TraiRatcliff – my alt AI account. I hope you enjoy!

I’m excited to release these really fun and beautiful presets for you! I’ve been squirreling them away as I journeyed around the world over the past couple of years so they work in all sorts of scenarios, as you’ll see in the sample photos and videos.

And even better, you can get them for Lightroom Classic or Luminar NEO.

As a blog visitor you get a $5 discount on each of the packs. Just use the code BLOGLR for the Lightroom pack and BLOGLN for the Neo pack at checkout to receive the discounts.

There’s a mix for color and black and white situations and they’re super easy to apply. Just a few clicks. There’s also a slick slider in Luminar and Lightroom that allows you to adjust the extremity of the filter if you find it is a little overkill. Keep in mind though, that not all presets look good on all images. In fact, some will make some of your images look terrible… then there are others that love to be combined with a couple of others*. Poly presets if you will. We’re inclusive here, no judgement. Actually, experimentation is encouraged. Feel free to get hands on and tweak after you apply them.

(*I’m looking at you Mister Absorbent and Backseat Cougar… oh, did I mention that my preset names don’t exactly confirm to the norms?)

Here’s a look at the preset pack…

And here are some example images:

Here are those links and discounts again…Lightroom Classic or Luminar NEO.
