A portrait-format painting. The background is white and the image is outlined in black. The upper quarter of the image is a black area with the words “WEIRD TIKI ABSTRACTION” written in white, angular letters. The naked body of a man can be seen in the center of the remaining part of the image. Instead of a head, however, there is a kind of mask consisting of angular, thin black lines. To the left and right of the body float two green heads with dragon-like faces. Above the figure and the heads are eight dark blue drops arranged in a row. Their tips point downwards towards the man. At the bottom right of the picture is a yellow-brown animal. It looks like a lion and has a dark brown head with small yellow eyes, no nose, and no mouth. To the right of the lion and also in the lower left corner of the picture, many light blue lines form wave-like shapes. At the very bottom of the picture, in thin, dark blue, angular, and scrawled writing, is the text: “GREETINGS MY FRIEND FUTUR PRIMITIVE JUNGLE MYSTERY CAN YOU IMAGINE MY MORTAL STATE I WAS POWERLESS TO SEARCH FOR YOU... Andy Hope 1930.”
