Description This is part of my collection of past digital art – deviations that I don't consider to be of significant artistic value, but are part of my journey as an artist.


Inspiration
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye

But the dawn is breakin', it's early morn
The taxi's waitin', he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time, oh, let me kiss you
And close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times that I won't have to say ...

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
I don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go

But I'm leaving on a jet plane

– "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane" by John Denver

When I was a little boy, my mom sang that to me and I thought she was serious. I started crying because I didn't know why she was leaving. All I knew was that I didn't want her to go.

Technique
I took this picture while hiking in Yellowstone National Park, almost exactly a year ago. I had my camera out to take pictures of the wildflowers, and a jet went by overhead, so I took a picture of that, too.

The interesting lines textures are from a free wallpaper .psd that I downloaded some time ago, by ~archnophobia
Apparently the wallpaper file gobbled up my camera info. No idea how to fix that.

And yeah, this was mainly just layering and using blend effects. That sort of thing.

Jon, the texture in this is just... magnificent. The way you've executed this piece is pure genius, really- the contrast and colour (the dark in one corner, light in the other) mixed with the words and the layer of the map type thing, with the diagonal line across in white...

La-la-LOVE this.
