This design started with a request
for the Dirty Needles title to be in a ballroom type. From this type I then
created a design reminiscent of the excess of the Absinthe days in France in the late 1800s. Lots of psychedelic related imagery and of course a reference to the green lady.
I used a card texture to build the background then layered the marks and scratches on from various sources
before applying text/bw imagery.

Typeface for Dirty Needles is MilanoLet and Anticlimax for the date.
