Holiday Manipulations
Before and after.
This year's greeting card began as three images - a classic Christmas painting by Haddon Sundblom, who painted at least one other familiar icon as well as a few stunning pinup girls. The Coca-Cola image came up while Googling "classic Christmas images". The fact that there was already a little Jimmy in the scene may have influenced my decision. :)
The second image was of a bottle of Jack Daniels, and the third was itself a composite of two goofy-looking shots like this one. The rest of the transformation is pure PhotoShop. If you're interested in learning more about how this idea developed, download the the PhotoShop file with layers intact here. (10 megabyte .psd file.)
