Totally, Tenderly, Tragically by Elliott Johnson, Honolulu Museum of Art

His paintings are known for their rococo flourishes and tendrils combined with vague text in cartoon-like bubbles.[2] Totally, Tenderly, Tragically from 2007, in the collection of the Honolulu Museum of Art, demonstrates this juxtaposition.
