NOTES ON EPISODE ART: CREATED 07/2003 ~

I know, I still have tons of BtVS episode collages for s2 and s4 to do, and I'm aware of the demand for s4 AtS ones, but I can't resist shaking things up a bit with some s1 Angel pieces. Helps keep me motivated... Caps for this one come from Buffyverse.info and buffycaps.be, with some very light use of a few custom brushes from insomniac brushes. I also used some stock pics of city sky lines here and there for atmosphere.
