Other graphics
(well, I might say I own the writing, not the graphic per se because I can't photoshop. I crop, resize, write in AcdSee. And the documents above, which are entirely mine, I did them in Word, with clipart, then I scanned them into jpg. I can make graphics only in Word - diplomas, greeting cards, CD covers... I made my own wedding invitations and many other's baptism and other invitations.)

This is the last wedding for a while... IC, the three of them happen within one month, so they arrived to be played in parallel...

Verses: the translation into English of "La cancion del pirata" by Jose Luis Espronceda, as sung by Tierra Santa.

And some more of my work... Click on the photo to open bigger... I present you first some (forged) manumission certificates - one can acquire anything in Tortuga, for the right price... They have been adapted after original ones, though.

And a certificate for two matelots... but no, it is the classical, Exquemelin's matelotage, not the... particular ones highlighted later (which yes, existed, but they weren't the norm)
