Banksy inspired change to design
One of the artists I find most interesting is Banksy - the UK graffiti artist. His work has a wry sense of humour that sets it apart from most other graffiti artists and indeed a lot of "conventional" artists. Do I actually like graffiti? That's a difficult one. The problem with graffiti is it's very intrusive and although there are doubtless many talented artists involved with graffiti there are also a lot of unskilled morons scrawling nonsense and generally reducing the quality of life for people living in urban areas.
Anyway - on with the design. Ironically, after spending hours creating a lovely clean design using the pen tool I went back in and dirtied it up, adding the shadows and harsh lighting effect that Banksy employs, mainly with paint bucket and eraser tool.

Craic Dealer
For those unfamiliar with the term craic (pronounced crack) is the Irish term for fun, entertainment, and enjoyable conversation. This image and play on words has been on my sketchpad for a bit and I finally decided to sit down and give it the full Zazzle treatment.
Once again it was firing up good ol' PS7 and straight onto a blank canvas. I was going to leave the design as a bitmap image but my OCD overcame my good sense and it was out with the pen tool and a couple of pointless hours zoomed in at 10000000% to get the smoothest lines possible ...
