Pat Lenz's, Nobody’s Poodle!

You're witty, a force for peace and non-violence, and exude power and control, just like Pat Lenz's 2011 sculpture, Nobody's Poodle. "What does it mean to be 'Nobody's Poodle?' asks Lenz. "No one can name you, command you, or lead you . . . Everyone should aspire to be Nobody's Poodle.

Robert Williams's Errant Levity (also known as "The Jockey")!

You're professional, talented, and passionate, with a dash of rebellion. People know they can rely on you, but also know to expect a few surprises along the way. Just as Robert Williams used his passion for car culture, cinematic apocalypticism, and film noir to create a new genre known as "psychedelic imagery," you use your creativity and originality to leave your own unique mark wherever you go.

You are whimsical, joyful, and unique! Just as Monty Monty's Tri-bot is assembled from found objects, you take your past experiences (whether they're shiny or broken) and turn them into something new. Pulling yourself together and playing your original tune is your strength.

Richard Shaw's Untitled!

With you, things are not quite what they appear. You may exude confidence and stability, but are actually a bit more delicate than one might expect. Just like Richard Shaw and his trompe l'oeil ("to fool the eye") porcelain sculpture, you are carefully examining your identity, while masterfully creating a believable illusion. When those around you finally get to know the true you, you often leave them surprised and amazed!
