In this edition of Photoshop Madness we visit * Viet-My’s astonishing visions, * Mads Berg’s Art Deco Revival visual treat, * 51 Breathtaking Post-Apocalypse Wallpapers, * Cynthia Pedrosa’s Fractal Portfolio, and the truly awesome works of * Till Nowak. We also bump into a Photoshop shovelware site that ripps off other’s creative works then disclaims them in their policy. It’s a jungle out there, but as always, we bring you the best in the world of Photoshop Madness
It’s a jungle out there… We ran across one site uncovered in the shovelware sites who was offering free vector files. But when I saw some of the comments, I decided not to attempt downloading the files. One commenter wrote:
It is a SCAM and HOAX and has no business being posted on a site such as this. You should delete all links to ifolder.ru. They’re lowlife scumbags.

So I can see that other people are tromping these shovelware sites too. I decided to look for an “About” page. None there. However, I did find the “Copyright infringement” page where the site says “… if you want this material removed, you must provide a written communication …” So, in effect they openly admit to ripping off the creative works of others, and hiding behind the DMCA.

Ravenskar — or, Viet-My (“Viet-Mee”) is a 22-year old Vietnamese, now residing in Australia who calls herself “a Pornographic Connoisseur” … little else is known other than she does killer illustrations that get posted on hundreds of other web sites, and gathering hundreds of glowing comments.
