About this work

This image shows a flat, cartoonish scene with bright colors. A figure in a pink dress and black hat holds a long, thin object like a gun or pole. Another figure in a black outfit stands below, also holding the same object. The background is split into two colors: a teal at the top and a blue at the bottom, with a jagged line between them. The artist used simple shapes and bold outlines to make the scene feel playful. The figures look like they’re part of a story, but the details are left open to your imagination. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how prints like this are made.
