anything on Ebay lol.

I especially like that on the picture of the...um... butterfly on the well with the sign on the door that says "no junk mail" (ok - if that sentence would make sense in any other context, I'm there!) where they have the watermark that says Liimited Designs Sample. They can't even spell their own "company's" name right!
If that weren't enough, in the second version of the girl butterfly sitting on the well, the watermark says "Limted Designs."
It was also clever of them to use a senior citizen in the Seniors 2008 collection background instead of a high school senior.

have you heard this story from North Carolina?
Apparently the DMV isn't very familiar with popular online acronyms...as they apparently issued thousands of these...

What about the part that says "these are not cut and paste - it is an actual photograph".. Uuuuhhhhhhhh.....
I'm disappointed about the huge watermarks, I was totally going to yoink some of those samples to use to create my own magical fantasy art.
And uh.. Senior 2008.. LOL!!
More frightening is that people are buying this crap. I guess they know something I don't.

OHHHHH I want to learn how PS a picture of a baby into a lidded wine glass! I can't wait until my copy arrives!
Funny thing is, I actually know people who would like this---REALLY
I am on a local mommies board and I recently posted pictures of my little boy (you can see them on my blog, the blue checkered wall ones) I got about 3 mediocre replies. A lady posted pictures that she had taken at WALMART in front of a STUPID blues clues background with the kid wearing ridiculous tie-dyed pantyhose stretched around a wire butterfly shaped frame. The thread has 7 pages of comments "those are so cute" "what a cutie" "Awweee, those look expensive" UUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHH!
Sorry threadjacking is over now

I like the one "senior" picture with the girl that looks like she's 11. They mirrored her -- which makes it obvious as she's wearing a t-shirt with WORDS on it. Very detailed oriented, this one is.

Rox,
Maybe you could feature some of these wonderful images on your canvas products. I think it would make the images look 10 times sweeter if they were printed on a P2C

hahahaha.

I'm just not cool enough to hang in south florida. My shirts don't have enough patterns on them, and I can only reasonably get away with leaving the top two buttons open, and three seems to be the standard

I have pointy shoes, though. Does that count?
