Those are GREAT! What awesome work. I particularly love 16, 20, and 24.
That’s something I’d really love to learn how to do–any tutorials you’d recommend?

number 9 is definitely NOT Britney
January 12th, 2010 at 4:45 am
Great ! Nos. 3, 14 and 18 are my favs.

These are obviously done by overlaying a photo using text within a software package. But which one?
February 20th, 2010 at 3:28 am
Lovely. But the Michael Jackson one is just straight text with an alpha picture – just brights and darks.
Bit of a cop-out, really. I could very easily do that with notepad and a photo? Not really worthy of being here with all these other great examples.
