"Why won't they stop staring at me?!"

If you've just tried to reach the official Cool Surface website and have been redirected here, there's a good reason. The Cool Surface website is currently under construction and will be revealed soon. To make up for any confusion caused, here's a picture of a cute puppy and kitten. Feeling better now? Good.


And what's more, the latest issue of Photoshop Creative (issue 57) features a tutorial which will take you through how we created this image.
Enjoy!

"The Dogs"

Welcome to the slightly re-vamped blog; now with added blue! Next in line for an upgrade is the official Cool Surface website; we'll keep you informed of when that will be launching. There have also been murmurings of a Cool Surface shop appearing in the not too distant future, so you could soon be able to adorn your walls with prints of sexy ladies, flying rats and more sexy ladies (we like sexy ladies). Hooray!

If the excitement hasn't all been too much for you, take a peek at this latest image, imaginatively titled "The Dogs"...

Tilly Tag

Well, it's been a bit busy here at Cool Surface; we've just finished a few fun commissions for some international magazines. Keep an eye out for the next issues of Digital Arts and Photoshop Creative for some Cool Surface tutorials, but in case you miss them we will of course be posting the results on here once they're released into the big wide art world.
For now, here's a work in progress which we've been playing around with in our spare time, featuring the adorable "Tilly".

Have fun!

An important thing to remember this Christmas...

It's been an insanely busy month for us with commissions turning up all over the place (hence the lack of blog posts recently), however we're here to make it up to you with our 2008 Christmas card.` Incidentally, you know you may be a work-aholic when you've worked without a day off for a month and you still feel compelled to make a Christmas card at 9pm after you started work at 8am...

I really had an urge to do something traditionally Christmassy this year, but as always, a little bit of humour had to sneak in there because after all, it is us!

Hope you have a great Christmas, we'll see you all next year!

All the best,
David and Sarah
