This ink drawing on paper has a black wash ground, with two figures drawn in opaque black ink. On the right, a comic figure, in only boxers and a pointed hat, dances. His right leg has been kicked through a television set that he holds with his right hand. Scissors fall from his left hand towards what looks like a two-slot toaster on the ground. A black, horned beast lurks in the background, holding a phone overhead that has two earpieces, attached together with no cradle. In the background, a headstone-shaped form silhouettes the dancing figure.<br /><br />
The drawing is signed and dated in ink (l.l.) "KOSTABI 1984".

This photolithograph is printed in bright neon blue, pale pink and brown and depicts three main scenes. The first register at the top is a photo collage of an electronics store, a teddy bear, and a furry dog with a shoe in its mouth. Below, there is a cut-out image of two children, smiling and hugging: only their heads are visible. The bottom register shows an ice cream cake covered in fruit and toppings on a oval platter with a doily. The print is signed and dated at the bottom right.

This is a photolithograph in blue and yellow with a series of photographic images and geometric patterning. At the top, there is a band of polka-dots in three sizes. The next band has five squares on the left and to the right three photographs; these three photographs are a sequential series of shots showing a woman in a shiny bikini and two men touching and looking at her. Below this register, there is one large scene of a girl and a banana, with a Chiquita sticker placed on the child's forehead. The main image here is in blue but the child's eyes and the sticker are in yellow. At the bottom of the print, there is a double row of squares on the left and then two sets of polka-dots on the right.
