On Top of the World Dancing for Joy

This illustration exudes pure exuberant joy. The curved surface that grounds this image of a multicultural group of friends makes it appear that they are dancing on the top of the world. All the characters, even the dog and the bird, engage in eye-popping action with big smiles on their faces. It is not clear what the man in the foreground is doing (Perhaps he is sneezing.), but his big nose and open mouth point to the primary action.
