Skeleton and Lotion (Autographed Head Shots)
2004

Two framed black and white photographs displayed on a wall side by side. The left photo shows a human skeleton with a contemplative pose, looking down and to the side, with "skeleton" handwritten across the chest. The right photo features a bottle of Suave Skin Therapy lotion with a pump top, and a dollop of lotion appears to be floating in front of it, with "lotion" handwritten at the bottom. Both images have a humorous contrast between the subject and the handwritten text.
