If You're Going to San Francisco...
...be sure to wear, some flowers in your hair...

I don't know if this is my personal best just yet, but it sure is my new favourite!

I'm very proud of where I live. I was searching through the stock at dA and I was also watching "Forrest Gump" on my computer. When I saw this, the film was right at the part when Jenny and Forrest are in Washington Dc; Jenny was reminiscing about her time out in California and then after the scene in which she agrees to go to San Francisco with whosthatguy, the song "San Francisco" comes up in the background as Jenny and Forrest are walking in the sunset....

Talk about perfect timing. :D The whole concept just came to me, and I am very happy with the final outcome. It's always nice when your city has an actual REAL song about it. :P

This is 50% of the original piece, so it's quite large, but I insist that you give it a looksie! There is also an original version which has the unedited colours - I changed things up a little bit to fit the overall scheme of this final graphic.

Anyways, this is my first vector graphic since the twentysomething of January ^^... I hope you like it!

i love the idea behind this. the only thing that bothers me is the fact that it's not all vectored. i think it would look really amazing if you'd vectored the whole thing - even if it was just simply done in the background. but hey.. maybe it's just me :)
