Mr. Happy is the painting where the smile becomes the prison. Yellow-orange skull with mismatched square-bracket eyes — one with a tiny crying figure, one with a red arrow pointing back at itself. FAMOUS spelt across the teeth like a sentence. Dollar signs filling the green wall behind him. The hand reaches up from below — supplication, or grabbing for him. The intestinal heart at the bottom is the only thing in the painting that is still a person.
