Angels Among Us


This is my entry for the Collage Obsession challenge where we were given the image of the woman and cherub and the gritty window wall background is from Digital Whisper . "Angels" is the theme and I like to explore the idea of softness and light against the urban landscape of brick, concrete and graffiti. Wings are wikimedia and text is from one of my journals. Played around with the gradient and multiply filters for neon effects.

  15. I don't have a clue as to how to create something as textured and layered looking as your angel. She is an urban angel for sure.

    As usual, your work is filled with intrigue. I am wondering what her story is. What does she have to accomplish today on her journey to the city.
