You're Only 1/2 the Artist You Could Be! And A Little Less Then 1/2 As Weird As You Think You Are!
1995

A mixed media artwork featuring a central figure with a pensive expression, flanked by two cartoonish characters, one holding a ruler and the other with a hand gesture. Text around the figures includes self-reflective and motivational phrases about artistic potential and individuality. The piece combines illustration with handwritten notes, creating a layered visual narrative.
