Commission. Just about finished when this picture was taken. I was asked for something red with a cat in it. The title came from a conversation with a friend. We were talking about schizophrenics hearing voices, how the voices muttered away in the background while you’re going about your daily business, as though you were hearing a conversation in a room that went wherever you did. I thought that suited this image nicely.
