I've seen the book before at Urban Outfitters but that was years ago.

Dang that chick's evil.

Yup, I got my Urban Outfitters theme from them.

Moved to Graphics Help

arent they more like paintings or some type of pencil drawing?

They are paintings. But similar effects with photoshop can be done to photographs.

Then id guess using some textures.

Rachie. Try Here I know its mainly Icon tutorials but they might have something to what your looking for.
Plus if you have a livejournal account you can ask if anyone knows
if you dont i can always ask for you

OK... they were in book maybe that would help more... I just don't know who that artist is or the one who made the quotes.

I don't know who does them, but there very funny.

Yes they are. I guess no one knows.

still, like i said before, it seems like they did it more as a drawing or painting
I mean i bet it can be achieved in photoshop, but it might look a bit different and not exactly to what your looking for
