Brad Hamann has had a long association with Adobe Illustrator, appearing in past editions of the Illustrator QuickStart Guide and contributing art and articles to the Illustrator WOW book. He was also one of the original online editors for the first iteration of IllustratorWorld. His hope is to provide at least a small percentage back of the inspiration he has received from all the wonderful artists at IW.com!
Cargo Cult
Description Inspired by "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez...(and if you have never read it, give it a whirl!) The goldfish were made semi-transparent with Illustrator's opacity mask feature, found in the transparency palette. Opacity masks are one of the most powerful and under-utilized features in the entire Illustrator CS2 program.
