Emotions Jump for Joy

I came across this more or less " stream-of-consciousness" type of artwork by an artist referred to simply as AJ.  You may read more about this piece and others on the above site.  Text doesn't always have to be used simply to explain something such as a label, poem or quotation.  Here the artist is using text as a visual/design element as well as for its literal interpretation.  I find this piece has a lot of energy, and communicates "joy" very effectively.  I also think the artist could have made this piece without any text and still be able to communicate "joy".
