Description Around the end of August last year I got a call from the rapper/singer B.o.B about working on multiple illustration projects to be printed on some of his instruments for the Lollapallooza music festival. This was the idea we drafted for the Piano piece, unfortunately about a week later his assistant called and cancelled the project and I didn't hear back from them, but I wanted to finish the piece anyways.

he first lighten up a cigarette(it must be Marlboro). Then started blowing smoke on the scanner. then he pressed 'scan' button on the scanner and scanned smoke couple of times. but keep in mind cigarette should be Marlboro, it won't work with other brands.
then open scanned smoke images in photoshop. import them all into one document and make 'clouds' filter over every smoke layer.

he took a picture of clouds, then cut out the clouds on a duplicated layer and added a soft glow on the outer edges and set it to overlay. after that he used lots of grainy filters and set another duplicated layer to lighten. it also helps to put the contrast to 55.

He threw poop on the ground, added water then started walking through it so it became really sticky. When it had the right consistency he grabbed his shuffle and started throwing the poop at a canvas.
After this all he did was adding glitter and glue.

He asks the same question on every single proper illustration on deviantart. Perhaps he should spend a little more time experimenting himself instead of copying from others.
