This is a simple drawing of a pair of scissors. The blades cross in an X shape, and the handles sit at the bottom. The lines are light, almost like they were sketched quickly in pencil. The scissors look like they’re made from typed words cut out and glued down. The paper is pale, and the whole thing feels a little rough around the edges. If you like this kind of mix of drawing and text, check out Alighiero Boetti.
