About this work

This sketch shows four stick-figure people in a bare room. Two are standing, one is climbing a ladder, and another is lying on the floor. The lines are thin and wobbly, like they were drawn in a hurry. The walls are blank, and there’s a tall, skinny shape on the right that might be a door or a person. The artist scribbled *"20 lavanderines, unseal it"* in the corner—no idea what that means. The whole thing looks like a quick, messy idea turned into a print. Next, check out how this was made using etching.
