"Normally I think of an image as just one big drawing"
I'm with you there hseiken but layers do have their advantages.

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Lately I'm finding it useful to make a layer and lock it with a hand drawn image from paper with 30% transparency above the actual image I'm vectoring. I do typically, though, just immediately group things a lot once they get locked down/finalized, but one of the advantages to layers I found is I don't have to waste a lot of effort drawing things behind stuff... Might use it a little more for this reason. I still like making entire image one layer in general, but for some things, it seems to have some advantages.

Yeah, it is, but in this case, I know the audience and they'll already know it's Abyss. One of the freedoms you get with artistic license when you're not worrying about that too much. Plus, the revised back side has info like, 'All tracks written and produced by Abyss' etc. If this were any other project, I'd not have even done graff at all!

An conversely, not knowing of ABYSS, I picked up on it immediately.
I use layers quite a bit in my CAD work, and only sometimes in my Graphics. I tend to use groups more than layers, but really should use layers more. They give a lot of control over a finished product.

There are 10 types of people in this world .... Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
Your sentiments are mine. I feel like it's a case by case basis whether groups or layers are more appropriate. I like having both at my disposal. I think the 'professional' consensus is layers, but I just find groups, in general, are much more flexible to deal with. It's mostly when you have an image that is literally just a couple of elements that layers become more appropriate. This particular piece, layers were more appropriate: the logo, the face, the hand, those were the layers. In most of my works, groups work much easier for me because the elements interplay a lot more.
