Nice! I like the surreal feel of this one, also the random line in a book idea is a great one, I will have to try it myself some time!

So the line inspired you to paint? Hmm... I'll try that for inspiration sometime.

I drew the face and painted it first then went through the book and closed my eyes and put my finger at a random place. The quotes you get may sound weird but end up working really well.

I just tried that with Bukowski's "South of no North" - I got this quote:
"You were too drunk to know. Don't do it again."
Seems to work pretty well, but I think it largely depends on the choice of the book.
Also: Great piece of work - as usual. Rocks!

Thanks alot man.
I think the quote you got would work well on something like the zomie on a toilet piece you did.
Sketch something out then find a quote to go with it, it usual works wonders... unless you get "John opened the living door" or something equaly as benign.
