Figured this would probably be easiest.

I started out w/the cropped image and expanded the canvas a bit on the background layer. I added a threshold layer mask and played around with it, and ended up having to add a brightness/contrast layer mask underneath it to selectively brighten certain details up the threshold mask just couldn't get. I then added a vector background (hard mix) and a grunge background (linear burn).....although hindsight I don't believe my vector layer made any changes with the combined blend modes. I added a trippy gradient background and erased some of the original image with lowered opacity and different brush shapes. I did alot of experimenting with kinds of layers and blend modes before I got what I wanted.

The texture and processing reminds me of that street art that is pasted onto brick walls. I haven't seen much of it in my home town but on my trip to NYC it was everywhere.

I like it, I think it would look great on canvas or even a 12x18
