To the right, a hand is shown drawing a chess piece, with the text "Slot for Taylord Prod." written nearby. The background is filled with sketches, text, and smaller circular motifs, creating a dense tapestry of visual information.

A nearly monochromatic black square image with a subtle gradient that might suggest a faint light source, surrounded by a white border. The bottom right corner appears to have a signature or initials.
A black and white abstract ink blot artwork on paper, featuring a central, irregularly shaped blotch with splatters around it, above a horizontal smear near the bottom. The image is bordered by a square line, suggesting a frame within the paper, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner.
This is a black and white surrealist artwork featuring a variety of elements drawn in a sketch-like style. On the left, there is a pyramid with an eye on top, labeled "ANNUIT COEPTIS," and a stack of coins with "ONE" written on them. In the center, a fragmented, abstract figure seems to be blowing a cloud of smoke. To the right, a character wearing a top hat is seated at a desk with a palette of paints, and a cannon is pointed towards a pile of cannonballs. Above the scene, there is a line of cursive script, and the bottom of the image includes signatures and a stamp.

A stylized graphic image of a smiling woman looking upwards through a large, translucent pink ring. The image has a retro, grainy texture with a pastel blue and pink color scheme. There are texts that read "WACO TEXAS" and a signature at the bottom right corner.
Abstract artwork featuring a variety of brushstrokes in black, gray, and beige on a white background, with a single red shape towards the center. The strokes vary in thickness and intensity, creating a dynamic and somewhat chaotic composition. The artist's signature is visible in the lower right corner.
A vibrant abstract artwork featuring bold, flat colors with a large red shape dominating the center, a green curved form peeking from the left, and a bright yellow background. The bottom right corner appears to have a signature.
Graphic artwork featuring a stylized blue cloud-like shape at the top with a red, white, and blue striped ribbon flowing from it. The ribbon twists to reveal a square with a red pair of lips and a black silhouette of a figure. The background is white, and there is a signature at the bottom right corner.
