This is what Shawhouse had to say about your image -
“I thought this would be a tough choice, but it turned out to be a snap. So many images on redbubble are stunning, but it’s the rare one that sticks with you. I’d like to nominate just such an image – Barfly by Shanina Conway.
I wrote the following in the long “barfly”comments column – wow, tragic, elegant, rheumy-eyed human dignity slipping into darkness, the eyes red as an open wound, her shadow the color of poison.. It’s one of my favorite works of art.
Congratulations, Shanina, and thanks for sharing it on redbubble.

Hello thank you all for your comments.
I’m so pleased you like her,she haunted me for 12 months before I managed to get her out of my system.
oh! i love a good haunting out of the system piece – this is great, i love the colours. there a certain relaxed vibe to the piece also.
She told me she’s a Jazz Singer…
Great picture, I like the expressive qualities.
Very film-noir like, it’s a nice nostalgic piece
