Boo! Did I scare you? Probably not, I don't look very threatening in my little mask. That's okay, it's not quite Halloween anyway. We have a whole month of celebration here and this is our kick-off! As we get closer to All Hallow's eve the tutorials will get creepier and crawlier. You'll learn all sorts of haunting tricks.

We're going to start the month with some less-threatening tutorials, and work our way up. This week we're featuring some home cooked tutorials. You can make everything we're featuring this week from scratch. You don't need a single stock photo to make your images rock. The feature this week is really four tutorials in one, and you certainly don't have to be an expert at photoshop to be able to make this Refrigerator Door. If you're in the mood to really stick it, there's a tutorial on how to make a Syringe. You can play some loud music when you push your Glossy Play Button, and listen to it through your new Speaker! I need some new speakers for my car - it's too bad it's not as easy to make them in real life as John makes it in his tutorial. But that's the beauty of Photoshop! You can make anything a reality.

Chillin' til next week,

Kirin Knapp
