Description
Old-style sketches I rendered from photos I took at the old 19th century Hudson's Bay Company fur trading post of Fort Langley, BC, now a tourist attraction. The sketching was done using Akvis s/w installed for Photoshop. The book and its pages are a texture. Font was chosen to suit the era. For effect I used an old union jack flag as background.
Perhaps this is what a despatch with sketches and notes sent back to company headquarters in England would have looked like.

Brilliant work but I would like to see each of the sketches individually. The background distracted me.

I love the sketches, but cannot decide which one to focus on, so find my self flicking between the two.

Outstanding post processing work and a stunning presentation Doug...no doubt in my mind this is what a dispatch looked like back than! L/F
