This collage sticks together scraps of paper and photos. A pink shape looks like a face, but it’s missing eyes—just a brown squirrel glued where they should be. Above it, the words “SCARFACE” and “LUCKY STRIKE” overlap in bold letters, one red, one black. On the left, a black-and-white sketch shows a person in a hoodie, and behind the squirrel face, a blue background has tiny drawings of islands floating in water. The squirrel’s placement feels like a joke or a warning. The mix of text and images might be pointing at how we see—or don’t see—things around us. If you like this kind of mixed-up art, look up Buster Cleveland.
