About this work

This looks like a pair of lips with a tiny island inside. The "mouth" is dark and wavy, like watercolor ink, while the "island" is mostly empty space with a few small shapes—tiny buildings, a bridge, and a few stick-figure people. The whole thing is drawn on what looks like lined notebook paper, with a few pencil marks around the edges. The artist used mostly black and white, with just a hint of gray. The shapes inside the "mouth" are simple and childlike, but the way the watercolor bleeds gives it a weird, dreamy feel. If you like this odd mix of simple and strange, check out watercolor, glazing.
