I'm really impressed. Creating a picture like this in PS only is damn difficult. It needs a lot of thinking and many layers I guess.

(Splitting objects into multiple layers for perspective purposes and stuff.)

How much time did you spend on that?

A few hours. The best way to do anything in photoshop is to try anything that you think might work, and then if it doesn't work, try something else. It also helps tremedously to know what the various blending modes do, i.e. screen, multiply, color dodge ect.

Indeed.

Albiet, they'd put my bin in the Tate nowadays, so that's not all that much praise.

In fact, those bastards still have my chippy from last week.  Say Saatchi and Saatchi want to pay £100,000 for it as it's an 'elegent decomposition of modern living and cuisine in an ever changing world'.

Which is nice and all, 'cept I'm still bloody hungry.
