I'm presenting this as three prints from slightly different angles, with a visible flash (which is in different positions in each photo). This is both for hygiene reasons and because I like the repetition (from a distance the pieces would just read, "FUCKING PESSIMIST, FUCKING PESSIMIST, FUCKING PESSIMIST"). The full caption is, "The next time someone calls me a fucking pessimist... there's still pretty much nothing I can do about that." The statement is intentionally ironic, so it's not supposed to be taken seriously. The contrast between the blood and the crayon is intended to reflect the contrast between the fury and the defeatist mentality.
I'm not super sure about this piece, because I think there's a danger of people thinking, "Actually, this is stupid and immature because the statement IS pessimistic," as if that wasn't the whole point.
