Artwork idea#1

I have been experimenting with photoshop for initial ideas for album artwork so I can get some ideas possibly before shooting etc.
I have taken an image of Rickie that I took on the shoot for 'Rebel' last year; a magazine 'for the fashion forward rockaholic'. I thought that his facial expression would look really effective if I edited it in Warhol's silk screen style. I believe that this would work well with my idea and vision for the band and the music video.
For this experimentation, I used one of the brush tools to draw over the outline of his face and add eyelashes, inspired by Edie Sedgewick. I feel that the androginy of the image is something that proves very interesting and I think I could also use this in my final digipack as it also has a comical aspect.
I searched for fonts on dafont.com, and came across this one called 'Revo'. I think that the font works extremely well with the band's name as it isnt too spaced out and almost looks like a band logo.
I also experimented with lighting, using the 'render' filters on photoshop, I think this adds a professional look to the overall Album artwork and is something I think would work on the final digipack.
