Thanks, beezeyeview -- that means a lot! It was really hard for me to learn to use Illustrator, so I wanted to help other artists avoid the same hassle. Cheers! --sherm

You might also consider Scissors tool to cut off lines right between where you need them and where you don't. Then Shift-Ctrl-G to DeGroup and select the fragment so you can delete it!

Hi Anomaly -- thanks for the tip! I'll try it out next time I use Illustrator!

how did u create the white out brush as in what are the settings?

[beezeyeview]

There are very few Illustrator videos that explain HOW TO work with the layers and brushes to achieve a final piece like yours!! They are highly valuable and I look forward to seeing more!!!
