Description This one is my entry for the Musical Muse Contest . It expresses what music means to me and how important it is as muse for my art. Music makes my mind flow, and that is where I gain my creativity from.

I'm desperate without music. And I bet you would be, too.
For anyone who's interested: I listened to Modest Mouse while creating this piece of art.

EDIT: I re-submitted it with some decent changes like a missing "n" in the last line and a slightly thicker border.

Thanks a lot for your detailed comment! It's great to receive advanced critique, at least it's no use in holding back your opinion.
I think you're right with the things you mentioned, also your idea to point out that music is my spirit, mind and heart would have been useful. I'll tkae that into consideration for further works

I used just two brushes in combination... a scratch brush and a grunge brush to erase several parts of the color layers. The cassette is a font, though I bet everybody thought that this is a brush . Unfortunately I can't tell you where to get those brushes... I just don't remember where I found them. But I can extract and send them to you, if you want.

Ok, good then. People sometimes get me and my critique wrong cause I tend to be concise and they take it as a insult, although I mean no bad ,)

If you could upload it somewhere (speedyshare.com?) and send me a link, I'd appreciate it (:

Modest Mouse... did you listen to the new album? I love it! I'd also be really desperate without music... but I guess you are the last one I have to tell this

this is really a well developed piece.
and i see that your use of grunge is improving more and more

keep it up!

Thank you very much! I am in fact quite suprised how fast I developed my style from my first typo submission to this one.
And yep, it's a custom distressed type. I think I'll use that effect more often from now on, I really like it.
