Mixing text and photos and surfaces.

An interesting piece minniev....I'll just say the text and surfaces seem to overwhelm any of the photo part as that part seems more sketch to me.......but I like it none the less

You got it: in the fog there was no detail at all, so I used PS tricks to extricate the shapes and traced them manually then blended them onto a heavily textured background to get the sketched feel.

the font and texture work really well provide a surface for the art. I like the font used and how the textures are sharp and present as a surface for a drawing rather than as a background.

Thanks. I was trying to do exactly that. I'm not satisfied with the sketchwork but that is definitely a work in progress that will never be finished. The concept is as you described, how to create a sense of tactile depth when there is none, to place such a thing on top of.
