Select the eraser tool. In the options bar set the mode to brush. Go to your brushes palette and choose a brush. With the pic copy layer as the active layer, erase sections of the picture to bring out the original image. I erased the face and sections of his shirt in the picture below. And you're done. To save this signature use the save as a jpg in Photoshop setting found here, My settings.

When choosing the radius for the box blur the higher you go the more washed out your image will appear. Radius 30 Radius 50
