- Redpoint is a little village on the west of the Scottish mainland, where Red Point juts out into the sea, between Loch Torridon and Loch Gairloch; it is almost, but not quite, as far north as the northern tip of the Isle of Skye to the west.
- In Rogier van der Weyden's Deposition, Nicodemus is wearing red.
- May pun "The Bitch at Red + Points" as Rogier van der Weyden paints Nicodemus wearing fur which lies at the location of red cloth and the crown of thorns.
- The mocking of fur comes into play with I Saw Drones, which may reference Petrus Christus's Portrait of a Carthusian Monk (http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/49.7.19), which if split vertically along the fly (drone/bee) and then each side resized to fit over Jan Van Eyck's self portrait with a turban, making a seamless line along the monk's hair and Eyck's fur collar, a humanoid "dog" is made out of the two images (an old example of a vegetarian painter mocking his teacher for wearing fur).
