DescriptionThis is a drawing of the artist at his home in Phuket. He is facing away from the viewer and sitting on a pink bar stool. His head is hung between his shoulders so that only the back of his hair is visible. His hands and arms are held in front of him and obscured, and his legs are splayed to either side of the stool, his feet on the tips of their toes. In front of him, a bright yellow sun takes up most of the background. His skin glows with the sunlight. There is a small, green plant in the bottom left corner. His legs, the stool, and the plant cast long, blue shadows towards the viewer.
