In the second part of this series, we’ll look at the work of Jasmin Junger, who goes by the name Kuschlirmel on Deviant Art. Ms. Junger has created some visionary, creative works using Photoshop and stock images. She has also put together some fantastic, extremely helpful tutorials for you, dealing with various aspects of photomanipulation (photo compositing). I strongly recommend that you download these tutorials (they’re usually a JPG or PSD image) for later reference, as artists (and their works) come and go on Deviant Art. I’ve got a folder on my hard drive labeled “Tutorials” for these kinds of things, and it comes in quite handy, believe me! It gives me great pleasure to share with you the work of this very generous and talented artist. You can visit her at the following Deviant Art accounts:

- Jasmin Junger’s stock, including her tutorials

- Jasmin Junger’s artworks
