rusty? your just as good if not better!
the only rusty thing here is the color of the sig.

Sweet. If you want to fix the birdmask guy, do this:
Use the magic wand and select the empty area around him, clicking anywhere will do. Go to Select > Modify > Expand. Use it at 1 px. Then, go to Gaussian Blur and use somewhere between .5-1. That should clean it up a little.
If anything your method made it worse. You see the birdman is all stroke, he's a bruish not an actual source pic. So in order for me to fix it up nicely I'd have to go in there and delete every bastard pixel with my brush.
