hi mike,,i like playing with photoshop like this

Mike Helechu
Artist Reply: Thank you Heri. You are VERY creative with PhotoShop. (And brave to use so many layers of type. I often create a base image and import it into InDesign. Then adding and repeating typography is much easier.) I hope you do many more images that can be used as concert posters or advertising.

The high contrast with flag in color is very unique. Its great!

Mike Helechu
Artist Reply: Thank you very much Randy. I like the impact of your "Large Flag" photo too. Now that's what I call patriotic. Appreciate your comment.

The sketch you rendered, although they are both nicely done.

Mike Helechu
Artist Reply: Yes, I think the sketch is growing on me. I love the special effects you use so skillfully on your shots of historical buildings, both inside and out. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
