Description This is my vision of Charleston if it just decided to break away and fly off. It's an unused illustration I created for a project so I figured I could upload it as a desktop. It's another big one 1920x 1200. Enjoy!

Nice, reminds me a lot of Magritte's "The Castle in the Pyrenees"
The tiny floating boats add a really nice touch ^w^

Also, do you use a tablet? Or is it all done with mouse?

I use the trusty pentool...(so yeah by hand) However I would kill for a large wacom tablet.

Yeah I got a bamboo and am trying to get used it to it. I would love learn how/where to get some ideas to do that stuff. Free hand pen tool? Or using anchor?

Anchor points and learning your command keys are your best tools when it comes to working with illustrator. Working by hand and with a tablet each have their strengths, but sometimes you just have to do it manually...
