I am keeping with the Grunge Guitar motif for a few postings. I like the depth I get on these digital collages.
I opened a rusted metal background in PhotoPaint and then using Picasa 3 I selected a guitar photograph. I merged the photographs using the Object properties Multiply with a slight change in opacity as well on the guitars.
I added a lyric from my song "Art for Art's Sake" ©2010 Kirk Mathew Gatzka, and some of the chords I used for the song. I used some grunge fonts and added slanting and dripping with Effects> Distort> Wet Paint>. And I added some paint splatters with drippings.
I finished with a Filter Forge film frame to complete the grunge look and feel.

Ver nice guitar painting Kirk. You seem to have a specialty with these. I love the words and the background you used. Very lovely.

Judith, Thank you! I have a workflow that is almost a system now, for doing these grunge guitar images. I enjoy the textures I find on the internet and the way they work with the colors of the guitars themselves. They compliment each other so well that it is enjoyable to create these images.
