I think that this will become the next promo that I do.

It started out several years ago with a guy riding a computer; "Taming Technology". I liked the image and after a night of helping my 8 year old with his math homework I came up with the idea of "Taming Numbers".

For me it was a stylistic stretch with respect to the edge. I was inspired by the work that Carl Wiens had been doing with this rough edge look and I wanted to incorporate some of that in this image. I chose an old photo and scanned it and then converted the outline shape to a vector image using Streamline and used it as a mask.

I quite liked the colours. As someone told me, "The colours make me sweat."
