    D) After painting the bottom half of his lounge one colour and ran out of paint, instead of going back to B&Q's he renamed himself and claimed artistic inspiration.

    Hi-ya! Take that, I'm a ninja too!

    In fact "ninja user" would be a far better name for this type of thing...

    i think its C.

    A and B are the first results on Google when you type "Rothko" in which in my opinion is rather lazy on Henry's behalf. ;-)

    OK, it's mainly A, cause I was looking for a user name for NA, and I spotted the print I had on the wall by Mark Rothko, and that was it, although the username, Dark Red over Black, might have worked.

    B counts as well, as I was involved with Inspector Sands in gig at the Underworld in Camden, and Rothko played that night, and were poo
