Inspired by a Photoshop-box-as-mask photo* I posted recently, artist Phillip Valedez worked with Adobe creative director Russell Brown to create a rather terrific “feathered mask,” using only Photoshop CS4 boxes:

Feathered selections/masks, incidentally, were one of the killer features of the original Photoshop–released 20 years ago this week!

* Sorry that I can’t give the original creator credit, as the photo came to me without attribution.
The photographer of the image is his wife, VisioLuxus. You can see more of his masks on her flickr set.
Here’s a link to Visioluxus’ Flickr stream, as mentioned above:
