Relax Sonny
2009

Illustration of a surreal and colorful scene featuring three cartoonish characters: a frightened man with angel wings and a halo climbing a ladder, a large blue fish-like creature with sharp teeth, and a bearded figure in a bucket helmet with a red cross, resembling a medic. The medic is gesturing reassuringly towards the winged man, with a speech bubble that reads "RELAX SONNY!!! THIS IS ONE OF GOD'S CREATURES." The scene includes a banner with the text "SAINT VAGINA" and scattered dice at the bottom right corner. The artwork is vibrant and chaotic, with a humorous and bizarre tone.
