I like the color, nice use of grey. And those are some nicely painted hands on Alan. The frame samples in the background make for a nice pattern.

I like how you've haloed his head with the reflected light bouncing off of the frame samples. It reminds me of all those paintings of Christ with his halo. Great job at capturing his character and pose too!

Frames a direct hit for evoking the frame shop feel. Also dig the the denizens populating the frame.
