 I have always wanted to capture the despair of this song visually and this challenge gave me the perfect chance to do so. The door is actually the lid of a little chest, and I stole the door handle from another little chest and painstakingly screwed it on. Put it in a lightbox, black backdrop, door painted red (of course) and let it dry to a matte finish before squeezing black paint so it would run down and give a nice shine.

This is one of my favourite Rolling Stones song. This is a great interpretation of that song, you know it's this song as soon as you view it.

I like the vibrance here and glossy paint.
