Today’s Picture of the Day at RichardArmitageNet.Com is dedicated to Annie Vickery:
Here is your Graphic of the Day:
For today’s graphic, I decided on a treasure map theme. Using an old paper background, I roughened and darkened the edges, added an old map compass, desaturated (removed the color from) Guy, but then added some blue back into his eyes. Since Guy’s face took up so much of the graphic, I didn’t put in much text.
Here are my layers:
Happy birthday, dear Annie! ♫ ♫ ♪

Get in quick, I haven’t got many days left in May now.
treasure map what a great idea 🙂 Oh yes, definitely RA is a great treasure, isn’t it? I love this pic.because Guy’s gaze is so penetrating
p.s.
Hmmm Black and White Guy *sigh*
He looks good in any color, doesn’t he, Ania? 😀 Yes, his eyes really stand out in this promo picture!
Ditto what Ania has said! 🙂 Love your work Bccmee!
This IS beautiful artwork B! Love it!!
We need to drink a toast to the birthday girl, iz4blue/Fanny!
Beautiful!
Loved the old compass and the map of the UK. Very stylish. And, obviously, loved Guy! The POD is stunning and you’ve done a great work with Guy’s eyes (those eyes… *sigh*).
That’s a great birthday gift! Happy B-day, Annie Vickery!
B (can I call you “B”?), I think you should make the “Graphic of the Day” in July! Because my birthday is in July *laughs* And I would just love a graphic made by you as birthday gift 😉 (how smug of me, don’t you think?).
Haha, I don’t know what will be happening in July, PoliCBA! Maybe we can start a “birthday club” LOL! I’m so delighted you liked the graphic today. 😀
Love the new graphic of Guy!
His eyes are so piercing, aren’t they, Carolyn?
Absolutely stunning, bccmee. What a wonderful treasure – oh, I forgot to mention the background with the beautiful map. But the sparkling blue eyes just captured me and distracted me from anything else ;o)
Oh yes, those eyes really captured me too, CDoart!
Love it – so beautiful.
Thanks, Alfie!
If you want to make my hear beat faster just do more Guy. I love this one! Great job and very creative!
You and Guy are quite the team, Jeannie! 😉
That’s what keep telling everyone:-))
I’ve only one thing to say ’bout today’s graphic B~ NICE!………………………………..
Oh thanks bunches, Meryl! 😀

If someone wants to take the initiative, I’ll take part in the birthday club idea. 🙂
Haiku for B
Every day in May

Oh wow, my first-ever haiku in my life. That’s so sweet, and I thank you, tyme4t!
Just one word: wonderful!!!
Thanks, Aldebaran!
Very clever choice of colours (or the lack of them) so that Richard’s eyes would stand out. Love it B.
His eyes are really incredible, aren’t they, AnaKris?
Just wanted to drop in and say how lovely your graphics are! The way you blend all the layers together is really good! You really know how to use Photoshop don’t ya? Lol really, well done 🙂
Wow thank you, yelloweeee! Actually I just poke around in Photoshop and press various buttons, LOL!
Gorgeous!!! Annie must be thrilled, the perfect present for her 🙂 You are an artist B! 🙂
*blush* Thanks so much for your support, Summer!
Yeehaww…Guy, parchment and torn edges. Three of my favorite things! You da woman, B!
PS Hope your day was AWESOME, Annie. (yep, I used the “A” word) =0)
Hee hee, I use the word “awesome” too — I don’t care what people think! Glad you like the effects, NovemberBride. 😀
Your work of art adds a great value to the original photo.
I love Guy beyond all reason, but I think this promotional shot is a little too static and cold. Thank you for all the beautiful Guy graphics!
Thank you for your compliment, LadyCassia!
As the Annie of the day I wanted to write and tell you that your graphic was the cherry on my terrific birthday ! Ali at RichardArmitagenet.com was so sweet to honor my request a few months back to use that picture for the POD. I had no idea that you would be doing graphic for each day in May but how lucky am I? I loved this graphic so much that I finally replaced my trademark pink rose on Twitter with it as well as my avi on FB and it graces my laptop as the screensaver.
You are so talented and sweet with a kick-ass sense of humor that I just love you.
Thanks again for a truly special gift.
Much love,
Annie (Ann Marie)
Thanks for your kind words, birthday girl! I’m so glad this worked out that your long-ago request turned into a graphic for your big day.
I’m very honored that you are using this pic as your twitter avatar too, Ann Marie! 😀 😀 😀
*LOVE & HUGS*
