I went through lots of prelimenary trials before reaching this, at first i wanted to create something with pigs, as in 'This little piggy', but i just couldn't come up with any good ideas, so maybe somebody else should try!
I used the pen tool for my selections, and i added a lot of sharpening and sepia toning adjustment layers to the image. The only area that i'm not pleased with would be around the artist's arm where my selection is a bit messy.
