    number 9 is definitely NOT Britney

  • AK

    Great ! Nos. 3, 14 and 18 are my favs.

  • GaelicAU

    These are obviously done by overlaying a photo using text within a software package. But which one?

  • http://afewofmy.tumblr.com/ olearymo

    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.

  • Jen

    Check this guy out. Very detailed work.
