Sweet Dreams, Baby!
1965

Pop art style illustration featuring a close-up of a man's face being punched by a clenched fist. The background is bright yellow, and the impact is emphasized with a red and white "POW!" onomatopoeia. A speech bubble with the text "SWEET DREAMS, BABY!" accompanies the image. The artwork uses a limited color palette with bold black outlines and a halftone pattern, reminiscent of comic book art.
