Very nice.  I like getting lost in the image.

I have used a trick of creating the writing as a height field.  Simply
create the height field by making a painting via the mouse (or scanning
writing you have made) to a TGA image.  Use a difference (usually a box) to
remove the bottom flat section of the height field and you have a 3D text
object that looks as sloppy as you like.  It seems to render faster than
text does.
