Artist, American, born 1963

The man in the image is seen from the back with his full upper body visible. He is wearing a cowboy hat and his head is turned slightly towards the left of the frame, obscuring his facial features. His hair is not visible under the hat. He wears a striped shirt with long sleeves, which is visibly dirty, and has a piece of paper with the number "555" attached to his back, along with a patch that reads "Lite Beer." His dark jeans are accompanied by a belt, and a rope or glove is tucked into one of his back pockets. In his left hand, he holds something small. Around him are several other people; one wears a shirt with "Judge" written on the back, others are dressed in similar Western attire, with one person holding what appears to be a white hat. The setting is an outdoor area with a dirt ground, likely an arena or a rodeo environment, indicated by the fencing in the background.
