Typography in all it's beauty

Here are only three of dozens of really cool typography images I came across. I can't remember where I originally found them but I think they are all on Deviant Art. They are: 2010 Clockwork by Candido1225; Typography_2 by C None; Typography Imbalance by Sir SiriX. The 2010 Clockwork has a video tutorial associaed with it so I went to Youtube and decided I'd try to create it—at least, my version of it. It is done in a program called GIMP. I admit, I have never heard of this program. It is a free download but I wasn't in the mood for traversing new territory so I thought I'd just work it using Photoshop. You have to have a grounding in Photoshop to work this because even though you can achieve the same results in Photoshop, it gets a little edgy when you are following a tutorial using another program—even though the options are similar. Still, it can be done and it gives your creative mind a workout when you ask, "Hmmm, what is the best way for me to do this in Photoshop?"
I have to say, I enjoyed it. It took longer than I expected because I kept rewinding the video, this is a fast-talking, hotly skilled artist who works at lightning speed though GIMP.
Anyway, here's my result with my own touches, of course.
