I have been making these Rock art images for a while and thought I would share. Please download at will and share if you like. These all start as photos that I search out on Google and then I beat em up in Photoshop. Maybe someone would want an image for a build or if you have an image that you would like me to beat up, then let me know.
I have attached a couple of examples.
I hope you enjoy them,
KP

Bowie as Ziggy, singing "Major Tom"...it always cracked me up that, progressive as Bowie was, he played one of the kewlest rock songs ever on a beat up twelve string with a soundhole pickup...

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
