Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words):

I like how his art is about everyday life, but it's pretty trippy. Like bread man. Weird I must say, but also very creative. I am very interested that he did a project about his mother. If I started doing a project about my mother I don't think I could ever finish it. I can see why his work was popular and looked at throughout the world.
