A black and white photograph of a smiling woman in a patterned dress, holding a microphone and standing next to a vintage LYONS root beer dispenser. The word "SERVICE" is printed along the bottom of the image with a signature and the date '13/80' on the right side.
Minimalist line drawing of a person with abstract pink blotches and a black bird on the shoulder.
Illustration of a whimsical tree with various objects and elements integrated into its structure, such as a hot dog, ice cream cone, and a hat. Below the tree, there are teepees, a casino sign, a souvenir shop labeled "Indian Village," and a highway with a limousine. The artwork has a playful and surreal quality, combining natural and commercial motifs.
Illustration of a stylized figure with a large egg-shaped head marked with a red cross, sitting on a giant hand. The figure appears contemplative or burdened, with a chain around its neck. The artwork is signed and numbered, suggesting it's a print from a limited series.
A pair of white insoles with multicolored speckles against a white background, featuring a label that reads "TOUCHED BY THE ARTIST" in the center.
A stylized red squid illustration with detailed texture on a white background, featuring elongated tentacles and a partial, sketch-like rendering of its head. The image includes a signature at the bottom right and edition markings at the bottom left.
A faded artwork on paper featuring two distinct sections with yellowish-brown borders. On the left, a rectangular section shows a faded depiction of three figures in helmets, possibly soldiers or workers, holding hands in a chain. On the right, a larger, irregularly shaped section displays a partial, abstract figure resembling a bird or a person in a cloak. The image has a rough, aged texture, and there are artist's signatures and edition numbers at the bottom.
A hand holding a rectangular card with an illustration of a human skeleton with butterfly wings, surrounded by three smaller images of seashells. The background appears textured and the artwork has a signature and edition number at the bottom.
Seen from a profile view of a Iranian woman who is facing the right is wearing a white veil with Farsi text, has her hands in a prayer position, and has a gun near her bended knees
A monochromatic artwork depicting a figure entangled in barbed wire, with a dramatic expression on their face, set against a backdrop of telephone poles and wires. The lower portion of the image includes sketched outlines of pigs and additional wire, adding a surreal quality to the scene. The image is signed by the artist and marked as a limited edition.
