I was messing with some Photoshop effects that I learned a while back (so I didn't get rusty with them) and so I needed a test subject.
I grabbed a Google pic of the Japanese kanji for "Love" (I'm a lover, not a fighter...). I did a vector of it and then brought it into Photoshop and messed with the effects on it and I really liked the turn-out.
Don't you just love it when you're goofing around and you end up with something cool?
