cool. I rather like 'Liege Bastogne Liege'.... not sure about 'Fleche Wallonne' although it is growing on me.

Hi Steve - I'm intrigued by the method for 'Fleche-Wallonne'?

Thanks all.

Great to have people enjoying this fun hobby of mine.

Elliot - the Fleche drawing was done using a program called IOgraph - [url]http://iographica.com/[/url]

It's a fun little timewaster that runs in the background as you work on the computer.
Basically it tracks the movement of your cursor onscreen by drawing a line, when you pause or click you get a black dot. After a day of work and browsing etc you can flick back to IOgraph and discover the abstract work of art created by your mousing.

I just thought what would happen if I drew something using a tablet/stylus in photoshop, but then deleted the pshop file and used the IOgraph image as the final piece - ta daa. Kinda fun I thought.

[quote="Elliot M"]Hi Steve - I'm intrigued by the method for 'Fleche-Wallonne'?

heh, so "techies" like the same one. :)

steve, I think the bit I'm not keen on with that output is the black "pause" dots you mention. I think if they were either not there or more subtle then the effect would be more impressive.
