I don't recommend it– but it works for me. The art begins life in pencil and watercolor. Then I scan the pieces into Photoshop. (The layer mask option is very helpful.) I use Illustrator for word balloons, technical stuff and, in this case, the cancellation on the stamp.

It was a trip of a lifetime.
