Description New York, New York!:

Wow, I love this piece. I think I've spent around three hours on it, purely because I didn't know what to do. I started off with the background, and I was going to create a cartoon type thing, then I realised that would be hard due to the Yellow and Black combination.
So I looked through my brushes, and a brush set of New York City skylines which I used in my last piece caught my eye.
I was going to leave it pretty simple, but then I thought, well New York I suppose is similar to London is many ways. So I'm sure it has a lot of Graffiti.

So I added some extra bits, which included a brighter Crown, and a Willy to the Statue of Liberty. A nice little "Samie + ????" message, surrounded in hearts, falling stars, some little messages about the willy, and most importantly the lines of power.
The Statue of Liberty seems to reign over New York, so I gave her some lines of power, and some of the taller buildings have them, but they are nothing in comparison.

I enjoyed finding all the brushes and fonts for this, I like the little surprises you get with the brushes, all the things you don't see in the preview. Like the "Fuck You!", I only saw that as I accidentally clicked on the Brushes thing in Photoshop. There is something comical about it, probably because I am imagining an English person saying it with loads of passion... Anyways...

Enjoy!

Samie

I really like this and used it in a journal I wrote. I posted a thumbnail of it in the journal so I hope it will help promote your work. My journal entries are based on a central them and then I try to tell the story by using the art of Deviants. I hope you like it! Thank you!!!

Ah - that's quite funny the brush things!

This is a nice piece... I love the colour scheme and the 'lines of power' And of course, the fact that the Statue has a willy

Nice!

Yea, that's what I love about it.
I found the "lines of power", whilst looking for some fire brushes.
So yea, it's all good!
