# I'd taken a long break from these
but I'd had some requests pop up elsewhere and a few came out really well. This is just one of them.

Also, I think there's a couple of requests from here which I never got around to doing. I'll get onto them shortly :)

# maybe because i was inadvertently nasty to him before
i was only joking in a "don't be sexist" kinda way. i'd have said the same thing if a girl was being sexist towards men. he wasn't being all that sexist, but i'm in an odd mood today :(

# I don't quite understand this.
you past lyrics over a picture and change the blending options?
(I helped save b3ta! Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Fri 4 Jun 2010, 21:57, archived)
# nope, that would be too simple!
It's in one of the early posts, but basically create a bunch of layers for each colour and remove everything that doesn't match that colour. The grayscale images usually use ~5 layers. This one used 22 layers. The idea being that there's nothing of the original image left.

# so it's the same as
using the blending options but you just do it yourself. Gotcha.

# Painting is the same as taking a photograph, just very slowly and involving more paint.

# or I could make it even easier
by just using a clipping mask. But again, that would be too easy.

# Hey I'm not criticising
but you know to me, a lazy cunt, I can see a quick way to do it. And you have established that you don't do that so all good.
The result is the only thing that counts and the results are good.

# ta
the monochrome ones normally only take about 30 minutes, but the colour ones take a lot longer - think this one took about 3 hours. Most of the time is waiting though.

The finished articles look pretty decent though. The following is one that somebody got framed up at full size (59cm high)

# fucking hell i just looked at the london calling one
i'm so tempted to abuse university printing rights and get that one printed out at poster size.

# If you want a really hi-res version
let me know and I'll recreate it at higher res. I think the early ones were designed for A3/A2 at best so I've been doing recent ones at A1 size :)
