The gritty look is so much the same look the guys have on their album cover and other publicity photos.<BR/><BR/>Hope they get a chance to see them!! Great work!!Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741643940554273427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753861.post-69681835697223222072008-05-18T01:34:00.000-02:002008-05-18T01:34:00.000-02:00Ted-Thanks for the great feedback.

The basic answer to your first question is yes...<BR/><BR/>I have some textures that I came across on the net, through photographs that I have taken and images I have scanned. <BR/><BR/>I did not use the bands playlist as I didn't see it. But I wanted the images to have text that gave that feel and it seems to have worked.<BR/><BR/>The actual writing I used was scanned from the back side of an image shot in the 1800's. It was a list of other images and some other writing.<BR/><BR/>But the list and hand writing seemed to work here so I went with it.<BR/><BR/>I do a lot of layering and playing with blending modes, opacities and masks. <BR/><BR/>Give me a call some time or drop me an email and we can talk alot more about it.<BR/><BR/>I think that if we took a little from each of our 'styles' the results could be quite interesting.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again! Have a great weekend.<BR/>BrianBrian Bastinellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12402221552368724858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34753861.post-34471814361026945792008-05-16T21:50:00.000-02:002008-05-16T21:50:00.000-02:00Ingenious use of overlays Brian.

I'm guessing you've overlayed the band's play list and some grit upon their portraits? <BR/><BR/>I've not been able to control texture layers myself. The few times I've tried it the results feel way contrived and add only some pretentious layer of "meaning" to the image. I see where I've been going at it wrong. <BR/><BR/>You show here how it should be done by overlaying fact upon fact to create a multilayerd revealing moment. Hmmmmm.... That's ingenious and instructive. <BR/><BR/>My first reaction was, "Ahhhh... so that's how it's done!" Love it when that happens. I call it a "Splat! Moment". You know, when you take the palm of your hand and splat it against your forehead and yelp.... "Of Course!".<BR/><BR/>Thanks for opening the door. BTW, this series should knock the band over.Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07869579042505598957noreply@blogger.com
