Salem, Oregon

Now in CAPITALS, it’s Salem, Oregon.

Admittedly, this design is not easily connected to Salem, but there is a connection.

First of all, I was going for a bit of a creepy vibe because when I hear “Salem,” I naturally think “witch trials,” even if it is the wrong Salem. Also in the realm of the creepy, the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest was filmed at a local hospital. Look up that movie and you’ll see a lot of black, white, and red images. Alas, I had my color scheme. As for the water drops, it is the Pacific Northwest and frankly I just wanted to try this tutorial.
