Artist

Two boys are standing side by side from the waist up. They are holding toy guns pointed towards the camera with both hands. The boy on the left has light-colored, short, slightly messy hair and wears a light plaid shirt. The boy on the right has darker, close-cropped hair and wears a darker plaid shirt. Both boys are squinting one eye as they aim. The background shows a tree-lined sidewalk along a residential street with street furnishings like fire hydrants and utility poles under a sunlit sky.
