I think that you should run a contest in order to possibly find suitable names for each of the little werewolfish equestrian jockeys.
Starting at the lower left of the image and then working clockwise around the painting to the final one adhering himself to the stallion's left front leg are:
01. "Fangoro" - the littlest werewolf that could.
02. "Leapfrogo" - the bounding werewolf.
03. "Orgasmo" - the werewolf who finds horseriding brings him to new heights of "pleasure".
04. "Piranha" - the werewolf with all the temperment and pugnaciousness of an Amazonian piranha.
05. "Butch" - the werewolf with a strong resemblance to former child actor Butch Patrick who played "Eddie Munster" on the television show "The Munsters". Link here: [link]

Haha... And the prize in this contest would be?

Well .... since you *did* ask, I'd suggest the following:
If the winner of this contest is a female, then she gets to have an all expenses paid weekend at a 4 star hotel with the following male: [link]
And in keeping with the spirit of the bountiful generosity shown above, if the winner of this contest is a male, then they get to spend an all expenses paid weekend at an 4 star Swiss ski resort with the following female: [link]
Good luck to each and everyone of the contestants.

Eh... I don't think there's enough alcohol in the world to render oneself immune to those faces so that you could enjoy the actual weekend.

Indeed and agreed.
How did you like the Keith Richard's "lips for eyes" pic?
Pretty bloody freaky.

Yeah, the eyes looked like flappy-pussy-skin...

That phrase is going to be my catchphrase for the remainder of the day:
"FLAPPY PUSSY SKIN"
Indeed it shall be so.
Example:
- I head over to the post office to purchase a money order and the clerk there inquires as to if I need anything else such as stamps, mailing boxes, etc. to which I reply with - "No, just some FLAPPY PUSSY SKIN."
- I sit down at a local diner for a vegetarian meal and the hostess asks me what I shall have, to which I retort " I'll take the FLAPPY PUSSY SKIN please."
- A cop pulls me over for my tail light being burnt out and asks for my Driver's License I.D. and proof of insurance, to which I politely agree to, however with a question about whether or not this ticket will affect my chances at obtaining "FLAPPY PUSSY SKIN" or not.

The horse looks mighty calm considering the creepy little guys clinging onto him! But otherwise, a fantastic piece

True...
The way this one came about was just to paint the horse of from a photo and then improvise from there. The horse in the photo was calm(I guess), resulting in a calm horse in the painting.
But if one would like to be philosofical, then one could ask WHY this horse is calm. What does it know to make it calm when a bunch of werewolf-riders are trying to catch/eat it? Or maybe they aren't dangerous? Maybe the point of the painting is to make people reveal their own prejudices about what evil and danger looks like?
Or maybe I just didn't give it much thought at all(which is usually the case)

I was thinking that it might be largely symbolic - the riders represent danger and wickedness, and the horse, so self-possessed in his pride, is oblivious to them. Perhaps it serves as a warning to the arrogant!

Haha... Yeah, maybe that's it. Thing about art is that you can swing it any way you want and in doing so getting away with technical flaws. Dressing something up in so much bullshit that the piece in itself finally gets lost.

One of the only things I dislike about art - the pretentious bullshit that comes with it. When it comes down to it, this is a technically awesome painting, and how you interpret it is wholly up to the viewer
