ACF # 90--Travelling Man


A very textured background in cool blues, greens and purples was provided for this challenge--you can see it on the Art Creations Friday website, there's a link in my blog list. I decided to let the colors be the stars here and dove into my file of black & white images. I think the masculine theme and the stark blacks worked out very well. This is a man with places to go and people to see!

Thanks to Cynthia Powell for the car, and Dover for the gentleman, from a vintage raincoat ad. The TTV frame is a freebie from a class I took over at Jessica Sprague's website--she has lots of free tutorials for Photoshop nad some interesting classes. The clock was googled and the bird is a brush from a set by Emma Alvarez.
