Slumming it with the Venus

The Rokeby Venus is acting all tough and crass with chewing gum.  She's left some graffiti behind tagging where she's been hangin'.

Sounds pathetic really, her kids would cringe!  If she had to tag with chewy she'd be caught bare naked; oh the embarrassment! (the kids would really cringe)

Actually she's been on a photoshop quest to try a new font with a 'rubbish' theme.  She took photos of actual chewy personally chewed...eeww... and shaped it into various letters. They were stuck onto a very dark background to make it easier to use the quick selection tool in quick mask mode. She then took some photos of checker-plate on a train carriage with more chewy donations from helpful passengers. This was the background to the pink lettering. She stretched the letters even further by using thetransform functions and at a later stage may even cut them out against their checker-plate background to paste again onto something even grungier.  May try a few filters here she thinks hmmm.

All the best'
The Rokeby Venus
