of photoshop. Maybe, at last, you can stop being humiliated by 12-year olds. The subtitles are

occasionally hilarious, too.

And when you're ready to get really freaky - try the prog below ...

Project Dogwaffle was designed specifically with digital painting in mind.

Hint: Surrealism is not abstraction  - it's not David Lynch, or even David Cronenberg ...

it's noticing the sheer surrealism of everyday life
