step 1) get some barbed wire. in the absence of actual barbed wire, a photo reference will do.

step2) study it. observe it. see what makes it....it.

step 3) try working with the pen tool to recreate the sahpes.

step 4) use any number of methods to produce the texture and depth you desire.

Not to mention he's trying to post an image of an HTML file...

Barbed wire is essentially two main wires intertwined with little spikey bits at x.lenth intervals. The old stuff is anyways.

The new stuff is basically serrated (sp) loops.

Well one easy way it to create a pattern brush, using illustrator 8+.

All you have to do is create one link, then you can stroke it along nearly any path with a little tweeking.

cyoung: I'm not sure I'd bother - I've checked and while there is some mention of it in some threads it appears to have been one those that got hit when a large section of threads went missing

[edit: It gets mentioned here for example: http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Archives/Archive-000004/HTML/20010804-3-001329.html
but unless it discusses something obscure I can't find it]

Bleh. Me neither. It's gone. At least I know it wasn't just another hallucination.
