This image features a mixed media artwork with two sections of text and two images of a rabbit skull. The upper part of the artwork has a brown background with a white silhouette of a rabbit skull, while the lower part has a similar image with a blue background. The text, which appears to be a handwritten note, includes a dialogue between two individuals discussing a Freudian slip, with explicit language expressing frustration. The text is repeated in both the upper and lower sections, with the lower section also including additional commentary about a brother marrying and a statement about good looks. The handwriting varies in legibility and intensity, suggesting a personal and expressive quality to the work.
This image features a mixed-media artwork with sketches and handwritten text. At the top, two sketches of a cartoon rabbit's head are framed as if on a wall. Below, a rough sketch depicts two figures in conversation, one seated and one standing. Surrounding the sketches is handwritten text, some of which appears to be dialogue related to the scene, while other parts seem to be separate notes or jokes. The text is informal and varies in legibility. The overall composition has an unfinished, draft-like quality.
A mixed media artwork featuring sketches and handwritten notes. The central images include a muscular superhero character in a dark setting and a stylized skull with a bunny-like ear silhouette. Surrounding these are various doodles, a lamp, and a door, accompanied by text that appears to be personal musings and a date with a timestamp.
A mixed media artwork featuring various elements including handwritten notes, sketches, and printed text. The top left sketch shows two seated figures and a standing figure, while the top right sketch depicts a seated figure being attended to by a standing figure, with another figure in the background. The center of the image contains a strip of paper with cursive handwriting, and below are more handwritten notes and a block of smeared ink. At the bottom, there is a sketch of a stylized figure holding a flag, with handwritten text surrounding it. The overall composition has an abstract and collage-like quality.
This image features a mixed media artwork with handwritten text and two drawings on a white background. The central drawing is a stylized black and white sketch of a skull facing left with a prominent rabbit-like figure in the foreground. Below this is a smaller, full-body sketch of a person with a neutral expression, standing against a plain backdrop. Surrounding the drawings are blocks of handwritten text, seemingly reflective or narrative in nature, with some words emphasized more than others. The date "1983" is visible at the bottom right corner, suggesting the year of creation.
A sketch-like artwork featuring handwritten text at the top with some words redacted, a drawing of a person sitting and reading in the middle, and an illustration of a skull with rabbit ears at the bottom. The overall style is rough and expressive.
This image features a page with handwritten notes and sketches. The top portion of the page contains cursive writing in black ink, with some words underlined for emphasis. Below the text, there is a yellow sticky note with additional writing. The middle section of the page shows three sketches of a rabbit's head in different styles: one is a detailed pencil drawing, the second is a simplified outline, and the third is a framed depiction with a darker background. To the right of the sketches, there is a small blue watercolor stain. The overall composition suggests a creative process, possibly related to character design or conceptual art.
This image features a page with handwritten text and sketches. The text appears to be a joke or a narrative about a man visiting a doctor's office.
