The website http://abduzeedo.com/ is a great website with many tutorials on photoshopping images, clipping images together, and also illustrations.
one of the tutorials that caught my eye is the skate or die poster shown below.

Not only does the website show me step by step on how to make this image, it captures my interest in skateboarding, and also i have that matto SKATE OR DIE tattooed across my stomach.
even before the old school nintendo game, thats been a saying for years for the die hard skateboard fans.
