I love it when enthusiastic people find the time to write positively about other people’s work (I try to do it myself). Cathie Tranent’s a great creative talent who’s channelling such thoughts into a new blog devoted to t-shirts and other designers.
Is that a Tenacious D reference I spot in the title?

People visualise Andy Warhol and Campbell’s Soup when they think Pop Art. This tutorial shows how to quickly create a subtle, stylised effect using some simple Photoshop filters and adjustment layer techniques.
Things to note:
The choice of photo is more about and expression, or style than the resolution or technical quality as you’ll potentially be zooming into an area and cropping.
There’s lots of different ways to strip the detail from photos in a cool way – half the filters in Photoshop can do that, so you can substitute the filters used here for many others.
Don’t be afraid to try different colours (in the filters), and merge multiple effects on different layers to create your own style.

[SinglePic not found] A big thanks to everyone who voted for my Grinder Mincemaster Music Machine (try saying that with a mouthful of popcorn) in the Redbubble Demo Music Machines challenge.
It’s reached the top 20 (out of almost 300 entries) to be considered by Demo stores in London. The top 5 chosen by Demo get their designs printed by and sold in their stores.
Congratulations to all the other people whose designs made it through, and my day just been well and truly made!
