Artist's Comments

I've been sitting on this one for a while to be sure it was to my liking. Since I just started a new image, I guess this one is ready for show and tell.

I've wanted to do a film noir-y image, specifically a girl on one of those lounging couches. I'll be buggered if I could get a good angle out of one of those things so I took the simple head-on approach. Boring, but I think it works.

At one point I had a pair of legs laying on the floor off to one side with a pool of blood underneath. I couldn't get it to work with the mood I was going for so I too them out and added the bullet holes to the wall. Something just wasn't coming across like I was hoping until that bit of text popped into my head and now I'm happy with it!

Very noir indeed! The lighting is superb! :clap: The broken pearl necklace on the floor is a nice touch as well. Well done :D

This came out great...the noir touch is really in the details...the frown, the pearls, the shattered vase, the lighting...love it.

This is brilliant stuff! Do some more, please?

Here's a few topics for you. follow this list and you'll never run out of material! (ever!) You just gotta love Country for great titles (it's about all I can deal with in Country & Western music, but they ARE fun!). So, I’ve cut this down from a couple hundred or so and only included stuff that even vaguely makes sense in this context. There are all listed with BMI & ASCAP, so they're real titles.

1. All the Guys that Turn Me On Turn Me Down
- Written by Gene Plott, Harold Powell &
Roni Stoneman (BMI)

2. At the Gas Station of Love, I Got the Self
Service Pump
- Apparently this is from a Weird Al Yankovic
album, "One More Minute."

Her Artificial Love

whole list!

And my personal, all-time favorites:

Because I'm Kissing You Goodbye.
Coincidentally, also the title of a 1993
book by Playboy magazine columnist
Cynthia Heimel.
o You're The Reason Our Kids Are So Ugly
