The Three Muses - Charlie Chaplin, City Lights

I chose to design a movie poster. The black and white image of Charlie Chaplin has been coloured and altered. The checkered background and vintage film strip are by Irene Alexeeva, Scraporchard. The buildings in the background are by Christina Renee Designs. Stars and wordstrips by Dawn van der Stoep, Oscraps. (ENLARGE FOR BETTER DETAIL).

  5. Fantastic work Marie - I love how Charlie (or at least his movie persona) seems to be trapped by the film.

But completely I base this location selling them for the benefit of half price. I in reality want those [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably order them. what can you tell me about these?
