A vibrant, abstract representation of a comet streaking through space, depicted with a multitude of colorful, parallel lines against a dark blue background speckled with white dots to simulate stars.

The image includes handwritten text at the bottom that reads "Heavy metal in the asteroid causes gravity," signed and dated by the artist.

A graphic print featuring abstract shapes and patterns with a dominant blue dotted background, a black striped rectangle, wood grain texture, and a solid beige circle. The image includes a signature and edition number at the bottom.

A sketch of a person's face and upper torso with incomplete features and minimal color. The individual is gazing upwards, and the drawing is characterized by soft lines and shading, with prominent details around the eyes and brow.

A black and white photograph of four men posing with serious expressions. The man on the far left wears sunglasses and is lighting a cigarette, the second from the left holds a pipe in his mouth, the third man is wearing a checked shirt and a jacket, and the man on the far right is exhaling smoke from a cigarette. They all have short haircuts and are standing in front of a dark background. There is a signature and the year "1963" written in the bottom right corner of the image.
