Untitled is a 1985 graphite by David Robilliard, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks messy but full of tiny words and doodles. A person’s face is drawn in the center, just a few quick lines. Around it, there are scraps of writing—jumbled thoughts, jokes, and random phrases like *"Much more fun"* and *"Forgetting last night."* Some words are underlined, some are circled. The colors are mostly black and gray, with a few bright spots like yellow and blue. The writing feels personal, like a diary or notes someone scribbled fast. The face in the middle looks unfinished, almost like an afterthought. The words don’t make a clear story—they’re more like fragments of a conversation or memories. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching.
David Robilliard (1952–1988) was a British artist, born in Guernsey.
