"It's funny because it's bigger than a normal hat."
Newman’s black suit and lifelike expression ground the piece in realism. However, any formality presented by Waskowsky’s realistic depiction of Newman’s face is humorously disrupted by adding a brightly colored geometric hat & oversized bowtie.

Looks like this one was the first, good to see more love for runnin' over big ol' block prints:
Today my school's #printmaking department is hosting our annual outdoor printing event, the Press of Death ☠️
We carve big ol' block prints and a guy from the groundskeeping staff runs over them with an asphalt roller. Good times!
