Natural Disaster Photoshop Effects

I did not create a tutorial for this HOWEVER I will do so If I get enough requests, positive feedback or comments  

I wanted to see if I could create a cool natural disaster effect in photoshop using a street view of Manhattan.     I have seen a bunch of really cool variations of this subject and wanted to give it a shot.  Let me know what you think!  Here is the original Image I used :

And here is the result of our Natural Disaster!

Fat Buddha Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Logo Concept

Entered a contest on 99 Designs to create a Fat Buddha Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Logo.  It did not get selected as the winner but I figured I'd share it do to the work I put into it.  Here is the original sketch I did which I then recreated in Illustrator.  Check out http://bri-idea.com/bri-idea-news.html for more updates and http://bri-idea.com/portfolio.html for more art and design.  If you are interested in purchasing this logo visit www.bri-idea.com and contact me.
