Hand Deliver ASAP is an endless treasure trove of imagery both appropriated and created. This work combines found tags and labels with original drawings of abstract, organic forms from the artist's personal notebooks. We can really appreciate Jímenez's love for juxtaposing high and low culture in Hand Deliver ASAP as he has added found labels from "Laughing Cow" to "Marco Polo Restaurant.' The amalgamation of imagery and text creates a chaotic relationship and devises a contemporary iconography for Mexico.
