I like it. It's kinda eerie. It'd be a nice picture for the first DMC game. You know, when all the pictures change from normal to awesomely evil.

Caravaggio's "Judith Beheading Holofernes" would be mine favorite painting. Or something.

And American Gothic creeps the hell out of me. A terrible abomination that painting is.

Wow, it's like, "Is that guy kissing that other guy?", but then you see, "No, he's biting his freaking neck!"

Fixed.

I don't think I have a favorite painting. I used to have a favorite water color, and a favorite pastel piece. I however cannot remember their names.

Yeah, I thought they were kissing and was wondering why he was burying his knee in the other guy's back. It didn't seem very nice.
