Turn the coke into a cup of coffee and it's me! lol
but seriously I like the pic, and the social comentary embedded within, of our self indulgent lyfstyle.. not to mention the irony that the man is draped in a sheet yet bed is the farthest thing fom his mind.
but,
(and I'm sorry about btinging this up again after others comented on it)

The hand holding the coke bottle vexes me.
as a pen and pencil artist where I to draw this, People would asume I'd made a mistake.
And yet here we have photographic proof that it anitomically corect!

Thank you very much. And sometimes life is just a bit weirder to look at then we think it is. The hand doesn't bother me in the slightest because I know it is natural and I love his pose. Holding the bottle between his fingers like this has made the arm be held in a very particular way. If he held the bottle with fingers closed around the neck, the angle of the arm would be completely different and wouldn't have that same, casual draping feel with matches the feel of the piece so well to my mind. I think sometimes we just have to accept that the human body is just a bit weirder than we think it is.

I fully agree that how he holds the boltle afrectcts his whole physiological representation within the piece.
But I really agree with your coment on how
"sometimes life is just a bit weirder to look at then we think it is."
Mabe I'm just crazy but I've certainy had my moments whare real life looked like a bad special effect.

This is wonderful. The pose is amazing, and I especially like the way he holds the coke bottle.
