The background buildings in this pic are from a picture of a street taken near my house.

Going for a burnt-old photograph type of look. I think the yellows are still too vibrant.

Wanted the faded parchment effect. I did ok until I added the girls pic.

This was just fun to do. It's pretty chaotic and doesn't make a good wallpaper because the icons get lost.

Important Note:

These are images compiled of different pics found on the web. The original artwork is NOT mine. The only originality\creativity from me is the combining, filtering, masking, coloring, etc., done via Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator.
