Yes, this is me. *LOL*

I keep hearing on the news about how the Extremist "Brain Wash" people into doing all the terrible things in the world. This is a play on that metaphor.

I took a photo of my Head, my Cat and my kitchen sink. I then went to work with Photoshop and this was the result.

As you can see I'm depicting my Head as having been opened and my brain being washed under the Faucet. Notice how my Cat is playing with the upper part of my skull.

And yes, my Cat did give me permission to post this. *LOLOL*

twisted humor, smooth Photoshopping, and a political view! i can't think of a way to make this a better picture. best Mod's Pick i've seen in ages!

1 Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you. I'm still exploring all the tools in Photoshop. I'm always finding new ways to use them. Glad you like my stab at political satire. "

What a fantastic image! Obviously, it's not a hugely realistic image, but for some reason the cleaning supplies in the corner make it so believable. I love it, I absolutely do. Congrats on Mod's Choice!

1 Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you. I was actually surprised that it won a mod's choice. I had originally intended it as a stab at surrealism. Surreal pictures don't have to be completely realistic. Thanks again."

I can't look at it to long because I would probably faint(don't think that's the wright word for it) But really a great job, reminds me of hannibal lector 12

17 Steven P. Love replies: "I look like Hannibal, huh? Well, I do like to nibble on beautiful women's ears. *LOL* Thanks for stopping by."

Haha, no in one of that movies (don't know which one) he also removes the top op someone's head...and than eats a peace of his brain 10

16 Steven P. Love replies: "The only Hannibal movie I saw was "Silence of the Lambs" so I don't know which one involved eating brains. "

He he, I've always liked this one. It's always fun to see how someone interperets an idiom or expression.

1 Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you. I've often liked the idea of giving a literal interpretation to a metaphor."

Hahaha, nice! 2 It's hilarious, but most of all very original.

1 Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you. It was just a play on a common metaphor."

Hey ive been here before, or i have a rather bad case of deja vue and dreamed that i was here before, therefore making me psychic! (giggles menacingly) its probably the first one though.. Shame... I think i would rather enjoy being psychic... Anyway this is absolutely superb in its entirety! Brilliant! Word play is to fun, most fun when illustrated.

1 Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you. I finally got the chance to check for comments. It sure did take a long time to get the extranet back up."

This is absolutely amazing... I am in awe.

1 Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you."

That’s hilarious! Not often I laugh out loud when I see something on Elfwood. Great photo manipulation and original thought, kudos on a well deserved Mod choice!

:-) Steven P. Love replies: "Thank you.
I’m thinking of doing a sequel to this one in the future."
