Clown Taking a Shit

This image features a vibrant, abstract print with a dominant figure resembling a clown in red with blue facial features and a yellow hat, set against a backdrop of bold black lines and splashes of yellow and red. The style is reminiscent of graffiti art, with a raw and expressive quality.
