You can load an image from your pc using:

Dim img as Image = Image.FromFile(your_file_name)

Then you can draw text on image using:

Dim gr As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(img)
gr.DrawString("Drawing text", _
              New Font("Tahoma", 14), _
              New SolidBrush(Color.Green), _
              10,10)
gr.Dispose()
