Very cool, definitely try the grey green / Fight Club filter look. A lot of dimly lit bathrooms are that color. Very cool concept!!!

Fantastic idea, creepy in a genius way I loved it. And no, I think it's better in red. ^^

Wow, this is so unique, I love the style and colors. It kind of brings me back to books I used to read as a child. Very well done, really.

Good work!

This is spectacular. Really quality work. Color is a tricky thing. While I agree that a cooler tone of green/blue might be more aesthetically popular, I kind of like this unconventional palette and its implications. Bravo.

oh my. wonderful symbolism there. i love the novel and I think yours is a modernized depiction of a scene in the novel.

I'd prefer the red, I think. Gives it more pressure. Great work, and congrats on the DD. I'll be sure to check that gallery of yours.

i actually think that red is a better pick, it adds tension to the painting and creates a feeling of oppression, that goes hand in hand with Dorian's story
green would make it look eerie, but it would also mellow the overall mood.

I like the red. I like the feeling that there's an open sign or a prostitute's bedroom outside the window.

I'm good thanks, how are you?
Happy birthday for yesterday by the way.
I've seen Oz a few times lately, man is he hairy now! Doing his black belt soon, gonna see if I can go to watch it.
Connie's nearly two now, talking loads - and she can count up to thirteen, but then instead of fourteen she says 'blast off'.
How's life/work and all that? Oz mentioned somthing about you becoming very Eco-friendly, thats great.
Went to see 'the age of stupid' a few weeks ago, if you haven't seen it then you must! it's shocking.

I'm glad to hear you're well!
Cool that you've seen Ozzy, I often wonder how he's getting along! I haven't seen him since "the glammies" last year so that's almost a year ago now! I'm so rubbish at keeping in touch with everyone! -_-
When's he due to be getting his black belt? that's an awesome achievement.. if you speak to him any time soon tell him I say hi would ya?
Connie's your little girl I take it? .. glad to hear that she's getting along just fine, she sounds like a sweetie! 
Life's great generally, ticking along nicely, still in ponty, gonna try some visualising to see if I can change that over the next couple of years.. I'd like to get a dog too (something I've always wanted but never been able to before!)
Work's going great too.. just started a big exciting project that I haven't announced yet so watch this space.
I wouldn't say I've become more eco-friendly, I've always been that way, it's just over the last few years I've decided to DO something about it! lol I'm co-ordinating Pontypridd's friends of the Earth group, going to be organising some film screenings soon if I can.
I'm optimistic though that with enough people taking action to change things we will be able to make a difference.
So have you got enough freelance artwork coming in to keep you busy?

Yeh I get a lot of work now, it's taken a few years but now I have to turn jobs down quite often cos I can't fit it all in...
I do a weekly job for the financial times and a bi-monthly job for the guardian - and the bulk of most work that comes in is book covers.
Anywhere you have in mind that you'd like to live in the future?
Great that you do the friends of the earth thing, what sort of stuff do you do? I've joined the Hereford branch (I live there now).
Your project sounds exciting, I wonder what it could be!

It's perfect this way. And the idea is fantastic!

I like the effect, very appropriate to the story, while also being different from it. Stylishly creepy, very Rene Magritte in themes. Maybe the color does suit it, since pink can be fleshy and unsettling. However, what seems not-quite-there-yet to me is that the toothbrush seems to have been picked out in a different color, as if the toothbrush was an important or focal point of the scene. I can't imagine that it is.
