  1. Genius idea to use an airbrush (canned air is expensive and goes quick with this technique). Also, making the mirror image of the skyline really stepped this tag up a notch. Yours is certainly one of the best tags submitted this month.

  2. Sooo pretty. I don't know how to airbrush, but your work makes me want to learn. That skyline is so cool.
