Weekly Challenge 6: Adobe Illustrator

This week's challenge was to create a typography piece in Adobe Illustrator. I did the smoke background with a photoshop brush, but other than that the text is 100% Illustrator. I chose the word "Serendipity". I'm still very new to this program, so the turnout was a little rough but here it is:

It's inspired a little bit by Pinocchio, and a little bit by Harold and the Purple Crayon, one of my favorite books growing up.
