One wish was a Kavan wallpaper

Oh my gosh, these are gorgeous! The brushwork-textures of the top one is yummy with the top 2 images, & I also adore the tones of the bottom one & how you softened the color of Kavan's t-shirt on the right image. My my my, he is a handsome fellow, isn't he??

Thanks very much for creating & sharing these!



(One suggestion, from a former ad editor: it often looks better if you tweak the spacing between letters in larger-size text, like 'Kavan Smith' in the top manip. To the eye, the space between 'a-v' & 'a-n' in his first name looks notably greater than the rest of the text; to a lesser degree, the spacing between 'v-a' & 'm-i' could be tightened up too. Most fonts have these sorts of spacing quirks, usually due to a beginning or ending flourish on a letter in combination with certain other letters. It's an unpredictable thing, & really only noticeable when the font size is large.)

He sure is handsome.

Thanks a lot for the advise on letter spacing. Didn't really pay attention to it while creating the see through type but will keep an eye on it in the future. Really appreciate it.
