When I see words used as a fundamental component of a painting like this, it makes me think of decaying graffiti that might line the streets of the outer reaches of "civilization" in 1984...
...that, or I think of Big Brother-approved art that might be hanging in the galleries of London, & words are superimposed over the paintings to ensure that viewers don't have to strain themselves to form their own [potentially wrong] conceptions.

I love this image. The relationship of the text to the figure is left entirely up to the viewer to interpret.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

Another thing I've really noticed is always that for many people, bad credit is the reaction of circumstances beyond their control. For instance they may have been saddled having an illness and because of this they have substantial bills for collections. Maybe it's due to a employment loss or maybe the inability to go to work. Sometimes divorce proceedings can send the financial circumstances in an opposite direction. Many thanks for sharing your opinions on this site.
