  1. I love thee funkadelic chick! She brings back flashbacks from the 70’s.

    Thanks for sharing all these awesome images – they helped make my day!

  2. The space rocket avatar and the super cure monster are the best I think, these tutorials can help to teach us many secrets of photoshop.

  3. As I was looking at the images I can’t stop myself from saying “WOW”. These are very impressive works all comes from the great combination of illustrator and photoshop and the brilliant creativity of the person behind these.
