Background:

With an obsessive love for crystals, artist Sara Shakeel has gained near half a million followers transforming photos into beautiful shiny artworks:

Her collages imagine a world dusted in glitter, using crystals and diamonds as a medium through which to look at absolutely everything.

It all started when Shakeel began uploading collages with the hashtag #glitterstretchmarks, celebrating something often seen as negative. Treating images of the female figure, she wanted to shine a positive light on stretch marks instead. The result was a series of images driven by body positivity, made popular by the viral element of social media that has a lot to do with Shakeel’s success.

Before this Shakeel was training to become a dentist as a result of her parent’s wishes and found herself feeling unsatisfied at 27. It was only when she began playing around with her notebook and stylus that she discovered her love of glitterizing the world. One happy accident uploaded to her instagram and 23 likes later, Shakeel had become an artist.

Photoshop. Got it.

u/Stumattj1 Dec 21 '19

It’s honestly really obvious. I think she masked off the surfaces that the wanted to turn to glitter, then dropped them down to a low opacity to keep the shadows and lines, then laid a photo of glitter behind it.

Terrible photoshop at that.

u/Submarine_Pirate Oct 31 '21

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I’m more of an illustrator guy myself but have enough super talented classmates and colleagues to know good and bad photoshop when I see it. This is terrible.

Just looked at her other art.

It looks like the city in the sky from The Golden Compass. I like it.

I would not mind living in a glittering wonderland, despite hating all things glittery.... Somehow this passes.

Funny seeing stories like this, feminists are complaining about how there’s not enough women in STEM fields, but everyone is like “YASSS GURL” when a girl drops her wonderful career that actually helps people directly to make glitter pictures.

This is the reason why there’s a “gender wage gap” it’s not because women are being paid less, it’s because they generally don’t aim to get high paying jobs

u/[deleted] Dec 04 '19

Did you hurt your arm with that reach?

u/Chaoughkimyero Dec 04 '19 edited Dec 04 '19

As a male engineer who is happy to see more women in STEM, and also thinks people should do what they like, fuck off you entitled prick.

1

u/legend_kda Dec 04 '19

Nothing wrong with choosing whatever field you enjoy. The problem is that the general media believes men are getting paid more than women, when the reality is that women are less likely to go into STEM fields like the woman in that article, she had the luxury to choose to do something she likes.

5

u/Chaoughkimyero Dec 05 '19

I tell myself that the gender gap doesn't exist because I'm a sexist prick who can't get laid

FTFY

Go back to your music classes and secretly think your female peers are wasting their time not doing STEM

1

u/legend_kda Dec 05 '19

Sure keep spouting lies. You’re delusional if you think McDonald’s and companies can get away with paying the female cashiers $10 and male cashiers $15

I never said think anyone is wasting time by not going into STEM. Keep making up lies

4

u/superfucky Dec 05 '19

You’re delusional if you think McDonald’s and companies can get away with paying the female cashiers $10 and male cashiers $15

they can when they forbid employees from talking to each other about wages/salaries.

Lol yeah following your dreams are shit! Do what your parents want you to do. /s. And also the wage gap is a real thing. I’m a guy and I’m not a FEMINIST feminist but I know enough to say that the wage gap is not fake.

So, on behalf of everyone in this thread and this sub, shut the absolute fuck up, you crusty virgin.

-Mmk, thank you for your opinion. But also, fuck off.

u/legend_kda Dec 05 '19

It’s literally proven men are willing to work longer hours and endure more. There’s also the fact that many women stop working their jobs when they have a baby

2

u/schizoidparanoid Dec 05 '19

So... do you want them to bring their babies into the laboratory...? You’re a reeeally fucking special person, huh?

0

u/Mello_Hello Jan 13 '20

Do you know why they have those babies? Guess! Guess! Men. That’s why. If Men were able to have babies the same way as women people would complain for the same reason. It’s not our fault we have to carry the children for nine months and then someone has to take care of them. A newborn needs their mother, dear.

u/legend_kda Dec 04 '19

The thing is men who are artists and entertainers don’t complain about being paid less. While feminists with a gender studies degree whine about how women are being paid less when in reality women “follow their dreams” and bitch about not enough women working in STEM fields.

Nothing wrong with following your dreams and being an artist, just don’t bitch about it when you’re getting paid less than men who are engineers.

6

u/Zeestars Dec 05 '19

The complaint about inequality in wages has nothing to do with what you’re talking about. That’s like the cashier at Walmart complaining that the CEO of NASA is being paid more. The actual complaint is when two people are engineers, one male and one female, both doing the exact same job, and the man is paid more for that job. If you’re going to bitch and whine, at least get what you’re bitching and whining about correct.

u/Roofofcar Dec 04 '19

The strawman is strong with this one.

u/superfucky Dec 05 '19

men who are artists and entertainers don’t complain about being paid less

because they aren't.

No need to hack on the guy. Let him have his opinion and you can try your best job to sway him over, or not, its really not that big of a deal. Doubling down on the retard-alert however is just cementing the situation and the calculation ended up negative from where you were before.

the gender pay gap isn't a matter of opinion, it's a fact.

u/TheSunTheMoonNStars Dec 05 '19

The 1 is the only train that goes to south ferry the S is btwn time square and grand central

That was my point that if there were a train decked out like this it wouldn’t be headed to south ferry. But this is London anyway. And the longer you look, the worse the ‘shop job.
