this was the image that i created for the upcoming "new masters of photoshop: volume 2" book, published by friends of ed. it is scheduled to be released in june 2004. you can view the coming soon details on amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1590593154/qid=1078423644/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/103-4837959-3778264?v=glance&s=books). (the full author list and cover information should be coming soon, but at least my name is up there now).

since a lot of people can recognize the candid strangers image i did a while back, namely due to the nails, i wanted to continue something similar for recognition purposes.

the book will be accompanied with a project cd, and you will have the layered photoshop file to mess around with. in addition, i have also tossed some brushes in there and a few of my own textures. i also have a section about inspiration (featuring the work of damnengine and our own steel dolphin) and some of my thoughts about "grunge" in general.

You have created a class image. I can`t wait to get a copy of this book..

The way you have manipulated the face is brillant..I hate you... ;)

looks fantastic Dub....great job on the nails.

Lookin forward to gettin me a copy of the book :)

Painfully awesome and you have certainly hit the nails with the hammer with this creation.....another fab piece of work ....
