 My son Calvin and his best buddy Hobbes. My take on a wonderful comic strip.

Large white paper background, construction paper "notes," and lots of white string to hold up the notes and Hobbes.

A fill flash was used to diminish some shadows. RAW edit in light room. Cloned out white string, dodge and burn, in photoshop. Save for web.

very creative. i would've liked it more if the musical notes were cut from templates, but i get that the subject may have helped create them.
