how would i go about doing this? any help is appreciated

Oh, dear god. Glad I checked this out while at work...on dial up at home ;).
Please do not post pics in here, post a link to the pic !!

Well, the background you gotta do yourself, then pull out your airbrush and fire away....

BTW, wtf does it say ?

Okay, what I would do for such a crazy image is just color in each letter with a different color. Something basic so you can see where each letter is. Do each color on a separate layer just to be safe. Then you can recolor each letter one at a time to make sure you're keeping each part the way you want it with the highlights and the shadows. Then you can trace the outlines on another layer to make them stand out. If you want to put it on a wall you can just grab a stock photo of a brick wall and change the layer mode of the letters to overlay or something.

k, its linked now. but its kinda hard if i just air brush it..i cant get the colors faded and such. is there like a tutorial?

That might help out a little. You might just have to play around with blending modes to get it to look right.
