A detail of a saxophone. The background was meant to be piano keys, but I was working with a deadline looming over my head. So I employed abstraction.

Maybe this is art-historical sacrilege, but perhaps that is how abstract art was born? Maybe Whistler was just like "Dude, this is taking too long! Realism/Schmealism! I'mma just going to throw this pot of paint on the canvas, give it a fancy new art movement name, and pay my rent on time this month..."

Go for it! If possible, whenever you get it done, I'd like to see a picture, for the sole purpose of inflating my huge ego...

This is so good!
A few spots look kind of messy, but it's awesome!
Can I use it on my myspace page?

Thanks for the compliments (and I agree, it doesn look a little blotchy in places)
Go for it if you still want to use it on your page ;)
