The lower label is adorned with, and possibly affixed by, a large dark burgundy skull seal. This bottle should not have been unsealed.

Why would anyone willingly feed their human created art into the plagiarism slop machine?!

I was saddened to hear that Yayoi Kusama passed away this week. When I started painting, I took a class on her art style through @caseformaking.bsky.social and incorporated that lesson into my brand new daily art practice. This is the first daily painting that kicked off this multi-year practice.
