Heeeere is my completed project which began many moons (and threads) ago with my Illustrator sketch of the lead singer of Garbage.

Reference picture:

Finished product, made completely of letterforms!

"I say, never trust anyone," "I'm through bleeding for you" and "Shalalalala" are lines from the songs "The Trick Is To Keep Breathing," "You Look So Fine," and "When I Grow Up," respectively. "Run Baby Run," "April Tenth," and "Supervixen," are song titles. "Beautiful Garbage" was their third commercial album. The rest are just miscellaneous letters (her eyes are made of two lowercase F's and an O).

Whoa. :> I think I enjoy this over the one that you did. It MIGHT be interesting to add in more shadowing, not words but solid lines and shapes. It seems like there is still lots of white space... kinda lonely.

edit: Or maybe a bit of cropping so her face to settle in one place?
