Paris at Night

Did this piece for my mom as a birthday gift. Printed it out on some pre 'weathered' looking paper and burned the edges and sprinkled some water on it to give it that old timey travel poster feel. It actually looks much better in person then on a computer screen.

**Updated**
I took a picture of the framed finished piece. And check out that frame indeed. If anyone needs frames go checkout AC Moore, they are all about half price off. Anyway, I'm not a professional photo taker person but you get the idea...

Well, if it looks better in person it's got to be pretty cool. Great looking piece, man.

really beautiful work and printing on the weathered paper is a brilliant idea! i may steal it...

murderous... the weathered paper is actually paper you would buy for scrap booking and they have it in a bazillion colors, styles, textures, etc. They have them in all different sizes and they usually run anywhere from 15 cents to a couple bucks for 1 sheet.

That's so lovely! You designed this so beautifully, and I love the palette you used. It would be great to see this printed at poster-size.
