This is a bright orange square with bold black text that reads "DAVE HELP ME." The letters are uneven—some are thicker, some thinner—and they don’t line up perfectly. The background is flat, and the whole thing feels simple but a little off-kilter. The message looks like a plea, but it’s also just words on a page. It’s not a painting in the usual sense—it’s a screenprint, which means it was made by pressing ink through a stencil onto paper. If this style interests you, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this.
