Just arrived in Brooklyn is a lovely original painting by Tama called "Lunatic Pink II". Originally published in the "Lidocaine Drop" book, the painting is a perfect combination of cute and violence - she's all dressed up in her best black and white loli dress, ready for a tea party with her amputated legs.
