Laura Sink riffs on the frustrations of life as an artist, depicting a woman’s last-ditch effort to sell her work to the piteous, potential customer upon whom she sits. The composition resembles the cover of an action comic. However, in this case the hero’s, or antihero’s, concerns seem purely financial in nature. The juxtaposition of the practical struggles of an artist with the over-the-top style and activities of the comic’s realm contributes to a wry form of playful self-mockery. This lithograph was included in the X-Change Portfolio initiated by KU Professor of Visual Art Michael Krueger.
