These fall into various categories, mostly:
slight tweaks on others' text RECords;
poems or musings I've written in response to other RECords;
VOs, musings, etc., I've done at others' requests;
a few photo modifications;
some of my work that's been REmixed; and
some REmixes of my work.
In other words, that's the sort of stuff I can do at the moment! Hopefully my capabilities will expand this summer, when I get a newer computer and (presumably) have a little more time.

"I love you," she whispered in his ear, making the tiny hairs he always tried unsuccessfully to trim tickle.

You'd think 12 shades of grey would be enough to get a good result, but strangely the steps don't seem to be even. Maybe it's because of the age of my markers (Tria warm grey set). Anyway, this still looks too contrasty to me, but anyone who wants to use it can certainly make adjustments in Photoshop or something. You'll also have to crop it as you please—I left the edges in the photo.

Just added some shadow to the background wall.
I'm curious if this could be animated: the screen with the text could drop, open only far enough to reveal the first half of the story; as a stereotypically booming voice reads the text, an actor appears, opens her/his mouth only to be flattened by the screen as it unrolls all the way and the narrator reads the rest.

Ever since I saw MzLaDoza's "Balcony View" photo taken at SF hR ATM, I loved the way the flashes looked like stars. At hitRECord, the stars are in the audience as much as on the stage!
Please feel free to play with this more, or to re-do it with different REsources. My point was just to get some hitRECorders in there, along with some teafaerie magic and a little help from on high.
If you're not in here and you want to be, you know what to do: REmix! Please let me know if you see something I missed in my REsources. (Lots of the hitRECorders in here are in "Frame 8" so might not be resourced here individually.)
I might re-do this if I can ever open Lawrie Brewster's zip file!
I loved G R L's popcorn and pop (soda), but thought the popcorn needed butter! I figured I'd do my best to make the background transparent. Anyone who uses it can probably fix the flaws!

It had to be done.
Labeled (and cropped) version.
I would love to see other people's labeled versions of their city autopsies - what do you use the stuff for, or imagine it was, or to whom do you think it belonged? - something creative & not just the obvious (brick, bullets, bullet casings, etc., in my photo here).
I love SRL73's little cartoon / tiny story. I wanted to crop it and make it really bold. As for the vignette effect, I was trying to show it's in a dark room, but hopefully it's not too much. If so, that's easy to fix!
brujasur - I hope you like this! I mostly just wanted to exercise my amateur skills in Photoshop - how else do you improve?
The "drop" (instead of "dropped") in the original bothered me, but when I fixed it to say "dropped," I felt it lost something of the pun. Hope this is a good solution ("drop'd"). I tried to make the 'D droop if not drop, hoping to emphasize the word "drop" and give a further visual pun.
D'OH! I meant to crop it before uploading it. Maybe the rough edges are, um, charming. Or if someone wants to clean it up, you could also color in the raindrops' mouths and/or eyes. I couldn't decide on anything that looked good.
I used my photo of the Detroit River for the water drops - not sure if it shows that they're water. I adjusted the hue to a more watery color.

I'm not 100% happy with this (I think it's the font) but it'll do.
What it will do, I can't say.
Someone had to do it; I need the practice!
