eating the moon

Inspired by this Questionable Content strip I did this. Got jiggy with a lot more clipping and masking than I usually do.

Got jiggy with

LOL, I am so OLD!!

I like your image -- love the 3d effect!
I also like how you sort of nested the "the" between the perspective effects of "eating" and "moon". I'm not quite sure how you might have done that, but I like it :D

Thanks, Brynn. I'm pretty sure the kids don't say "jiggy" anymore, so that marks me as old as well. (Just not as old as you, ha!) As for how I did the text, I actually did it in a round-about, inefficient way but got where I wanted to be anyway. I typed the text, converted to path, did break apart, then combined "eating" and "moon" without "the" and combined "the" by itself. Then I enlarged the "eating moon" and positioned "the" in the middle of the space between the words. Next I combined all the words back together and duplicated it. Then I shrank the duplicate to the size of the original "the", moved it to the back, selected both text paths and did an interpolation.
