A painting in a style reminiscent of graffiti art, with a background that is primarily blue, pink, and yellow. A square (top left) shows an alligator eating a human hand. A face with a large mouth and teeth (top right) sits above a large white letter “I”. There are large letters and arrows in the center of the painting, and the word “Smile” off of which a small naked figure hangs by the neck. At the bottom, an upside-down face with sunglasses (tilted down) sticks out a long tongue which rests on the bottom
