If you create designs for products like T-Shirts or novelties, it’s probably a good idea to have a way to showcase them on those products. If you are selling through a site like CafePress or Zazzle, this feature is automatically built into the system. However, if you are using your own website or blog, you will have to find another option. The Placeit.net generator will do the job.
For those of us who consider ourselves creative people and also try to get the word out there about our creative ambitions, guest posting or guest blogging can be a good opportunity.
With that being said, I’m looking to both guest post for other blogs as well as feature other people’s posts on mine. If you own or run a blog and are interested in in either of these possibilities, please let me know either in the comments section or via e-mail at trcapromo@gmail.com .
Anything arts related in any way. It must be original work and at least 250 words (unless it’s poetry or a visual submission like photography or a drawing). I’ll provide one backlink per poem or visual submission and up to two per written other form of written post.
Having worked in journalism as well as the arts, I am up for providing mostly anything. However, if possible I’d like to keep the topics related to:
Poetry and writing
Photography and the visual arts
Movies and video
Music and the performing arts
Goth, emo or punk subcultures
Body modification
Graphic design
Maybe we can make this work out well for everyone!
As a deeply round American, I love the 4th of July, the pageantry, the music, the colors, the firworks and everything it all stands for. As such, I have compiled a few of my recent and not so recent pieces, both visual and literary, to share.
Wooden Maps with flag and fireworks done in photoshop:
“Above The Crowds”
I hover above the crowds below
Looking up with glee
Though I only stay a second or two
They have come here just for me
Then I come back in increments
In different shades of light
To build an artwork among the stars
And to brighten up the night
Serving as a reflection
Of sacrifices long ago
I am the fusion of sight and sound
The most incredible show
“July Sulfer”
Ah, the smell of sulfur
Fills the hazy air
This breezy July night
And sets my thoughts in motion
To ages long gone by
This burning fuel of beauty
And blasts of brilliant rays
Is far beyond the predecessors
That dealt in gunpowder
And bullet induced flames
So once there was a struggle
That from time to time renews
But such July evenings
Hold everything
Our passion
Our life
Our truth
Even though it would be nice, the reality is that many people who are interested in photography do not have the financial means to purchase expensive software to edit or retouch their pictures. And in some cases, they don’t have the time to do some of the necessary but tedious tasks without the help of automation.
These three FREE web-based tools can be a big help.
Editor: Pixlr
Can’t afford Photoshop or similar applications? Don’t want to have to deal with downloading big programs like GIMP? The Pixlr tool allows you to do all the basics and a lot more in your browser. It’s powerful and relatively easy to use with a professional feel layout.
Effects: LunaPic
Even though LunaPic is a bit less user-friendly, it’s still fairly easy to work with and gives people the ability to make all sort of filter adjustments and more. It’s like some of the filtering apps available for your phone but generally less generic and more powerful.
Resizer: Bulk Resize Photos
There are a bunch of reasons why you might need to resize photos to make the smaller. After all, if you all posting them online it’s not always a brilliant idea to have them in full resolution. You can use this to quickly resize any number of pictures.
With the exception of some rather snarky photography purists, many people like the idea of spot color photographs. And while there are many ways to get this done, some either involve expensive software or a level of expertise that takes a long time to attain. However, there is a simple and decent option for anyone that owns an Android smart phone or device.
The Color Touch application is free and allows easy adjustment.
Here is a promo sample from the app’s page.
Was there any point in computer usage that you wanted to type in a font that fit a specific look but couldn’t find one to fill your need? Well, in my research I’ve come across some ways to create my own true type files that can also be used on the Internet for blogs or sites.
At this point, I’m offering designs of these creative efforts of typography through my freelancing service.
You can check out the package of custom fonts on my Fiverr.com profile.

A lot of my recent book writing ventures focus on the electronic format and have included how-to style guides on artistic concepts. But I am excited to have just competed a book for display purposes with art pieces called “Optical Artistry.” Check out some sample pages I have added to this post and buying option on my author site.
As Promised, here is the info on my new e-book and where you can find it.
The details:
The advancing technology we have available to us can be an incredible and amazing thing. However, it can also be costly and difficult to utilize in some cases. This e-book is designed as a collection of 65 online and downloaded resources to help assist creative people in doing the things they love with ease and at either no cost or affordable prices.
For those artists, photographers, writers and videographer types, this book is for you. For the people who work with audio and animation, this is for you.
