Times Square by Bert Monroy | I'll Treasure this FOREVER!

This is one I'll treasure forever: a very special print on the wall of my temporary office, Times Square, New York, drawn and painted in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator by my friend, the incredible Bert Monroy. It's hard to put into words how much it means to have it. Bert is someone I followed from day one when I first started using Photoshop, and I've learned so much from him; techniques I used back when I did more compositing work, and that I still turn to when retouching my photography. Having presented on the same stage as Bert, and travelled to present around the world with him, I'm honoured and blessed to call him a friend. The video is a live broadcast I hosted with Bert as my guest, where he talks about creating his detailed artwork using traditional Photoshop techniques, no AI, and zooms in on Times Square.
