That’s actually quite easy, provided you have 'Shop. [Digital Smoke in Photoshop.](http://psdtuts.com/videos/screencasts/digital-smoke-in-photoshop/) She did variations on this for awhile, then used a mosaic filter or something like that for texture.

That website looks a bit like the art version of CafePress.

How are sales through there? Is being featured on the front page improving sales?

I haven’t sold anything. I’m actually hoping that more people would use it as a jumping off point to go to my art site which has better prints for sale and buy them there, but the exposure is what I need most right now.
