Wai Kru... Photomontage Pt. 2

This week I worked on taking my shabby sketch from chicken scratch notes to transforming it into a photomontage. I incorporated most of the photographs I had initially planned on using as well as some that were not in my initial sketch. I used a series of layers, and blending techniques to achieve the final image.
The name of my band is Wai Kru. The Wai Khru is a traditional Thai ritual. Muay Thai fighters perform this ritual before a fight to pay respect and homage to their teachers. Traditional Muay Thai music is played during the Wai Khru performance as well as the fight. In my photomontage I've incorporated several traditional Thai instruments, tapestry, dancer, buddha and a professional Thai boxer.

Thank you for taking the time to look at the final product.

Wai Kru

My Band's name is Wai Kru. As you can tell from my sketch (if that's what you choose to call it), The band name will be centered across the top. There will be a picture of a sun rise with clouds to the top left corner. Left center, picture of a statue. Bottom Left corner, picture of an instrument.  On the right side there will be photos of three other instruments. Center, will have a photo of a person doing the Wai Khru, layered over a box with some writing. It's amazing how much difficulty I experienced getting my ideas down on paper (digital paper), because it my head it sure looks nicer and makes more sense.
