i use adobe photoshop cs4. Took me about 1 hour to make it cuz i have lot of weeds images laying around on my hd so i didn't need to waste a lot of time searching for a good photo of Mary-Louise Parker. I was smokin a killer blunt and the streams of smoke made me start thinking how awesome it would be to see mlp standing right in front of me and saw the pscs4 icon and put my vision down in pixiels.
