Hi.

I´m interrested to learn how I can get my pictures to look like they've been through a shredding machine and also how to make them look as if they've been torn apart.....

Thanx

Yeah, sorry for wandering a bit off topic there - but it was too good to pass up

If you are after an easy one click solution, then Filter Forge has a couple of options

This is Shredder by Quasimodo (the image was too obvious a choice as a test subject )

And this is Top Secret by ThreeDee

Note you are obviously looking at preview screens above. The final render is pretty decent quality (click to expand).

Filter Forge is a strange kind of a plugin. It has a huge number of effects and it becomes a sort of 'can't find wood for the trees' thing, but without knowing they existed, I thought I had a good chance of finding a shredder effect because that's the sort of thing it is good for. Well worth having if you an illustrator.

I'm impressed, Trevor - you do keep an eye on what's happening in the art world

Blimey Dag. It was _all over_ our TV news two days running. I think the second time was the video Banksy put out showing the construction of the frame, which was decidedly fishy. Someone noticed the row of Exacto blades at entirely the wrong angle to cut the painting. I worried about the stated age of the artwork, and when this was made from a 'would the batteries have held their charge' point of view. There was more to this than meets the eye.

So did Banksy get one over on the art world? I'm inclined to think so, even if the value of this copy of Balloon girl reportedly increased. I don't know if Bansky had his sights set on the pretenders who talk bollocks [1] about art, or the speculators who see it as an investment. Maybe a bit of both. You spoke eloquently and with great passion about Jackson Pollock recently, and I thought you made a convincing argument in favour of his work. On the other hand, I am never going to see the artistic value of Tracy Emin's unmade bed, and I am still undecided about Damien Hirst's Cow in formaldehyde.

Let's face it, a lot of people got to feel a bit smug and smile at the arty types who were prepared to pay $600 for $30 shoes in the recent Payless prank. That was priceless (unintended pun there)

[1] It will be hilarious if this post goes straight up with the word 'bollocks' in the text, when we have been blocked from posting the word 'esc0rt'. If there is no edit, then that's what happened. Let's see

Bollocks, bollocks...I didn't wake up to the 'Pistols (I won't even bother testing that prefix) until it was too late - but when I did, it was in art school. We all loved Talking Heads and The Clash and saw it as the sonic equivalent of what we did with paint and canvas.

Here's a good one to go with Tracy Emin's bed: New York based Tony Matelli (my photos). This isn't a live person, but an actual sculpture - but you have to pinch it to be sure:
