Transformation and Perspective

Sorry if this is an already answered question...I just don't even know what to begin searching for. Hopefully I'll be able to explain my question well enough to even be comprehensible.

I'm starting a blog...because I'm just THAT convinced everyone wants to read what I have to say. So, I'm working on creating a banner, and that's where I've run up against my issue.

I've cropped an image of the boys from South Park in a fingerpainting sweatshop...but I want to alter the "art" that they're making by taking other images, rotating them (so they'll be upside down to viewers, but "right-side up" to the characters), and transforming them so they fit the paper that's already in place...including adding perspective if possible.

What's the easiest way to do this? If the Vanishing Point tool is the proper way...I must not be doing it right, AND it's a terrible pain to guess the area I'm trying to fill, shrink it down, check, and then go back for more shrinking, because I haven't quite gotten it right prior to saving the layer. I have a feeling there's a better way than trial and error.

Thanks in advance, hopefully I'm not just spewing out gibberish here. And because I suspect that it'll be useful information, I'm running Photoshop CS6. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
 
I'm not sure the vanishing point tool is the best for this purpose. You aren't shaping your added artwork according to a specific perspective plane, such as defining the perspective or angle of a scene and "cloning" out a subject.

I think for this you want to use the normal transform command. It has many tools including perspective, warp, and so on. Go to edit>transform and choose the option you wish to use. You can use the shortcut ctl/cmd + T and right click inside the bounding box to choose an option.
 
Oh well, you're welcome, lol. I'm glad that fixed it.

I hope you your blog gets the readership you're hoping for! Have fun with it and with Photoshop. :mrgreen:
