I don't know if this can be called art, but I had fun exploring photoshop filters. Have you tried taking an image or painting and throw at it different filters just to see what happens. I guess this can happen only to newbies like. Although the final result is nothing special, the prosses was really fun !

1.Started with a normal photo!

And I am sure you will never guess what was the initial image I started with :D
It was a pretty normal old photo of me, before I grow beard. The photo is taken in an acting class. We were putting a piece from Alan Ayckbourn, called "Tons of money". Here is the photo:

2. Wave and some other random filters.

I had no idea, what I am going to do, just started trying different PS filters till I see something interesting.
The first stop that I fount interesting was this distorted image. I remember using the "wave" filter and some others:

3. Copy, Paste, Horizontal Flip, Drawing and Neural filters.

Then I thought, Ha, this head looks like Alien, lets play some more. Then I doubled the head, filled some missing part, draw a coat, gave it some fancy neural style filters and got this ugly thing:

Another strange thing.
Then I saw this is getting more and more stupid and started something else that ended in this image, witch eventually ended as the purple background in the Final Yoda :D

5. More editing, more neural filters, some hue and levels and..

We got what you saw at the beginning of this post. Can't say I am proud with this art, but the process was fun, and if you can share some encouragement or critique, I can take them ;)
