Thank you everyone! :)

Congratulations. I dig the background. How did you do it?

Multiple passed through various photoshop filters. I try to watch each person I do these portraits on the floor a bit, get a sense of their energy, and bring it out as part of the portrait. I do some free hand 'doodling' as it were layering patterns and colors then running it all through the filters. It's kinda an abstract process, which sometimes takes me longer to do than the editing of the image, lol.
