Untitled is a 2004 graphite by Jeff Davis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a big, fuzzy-haired figure with a surprised face, floating in the air. Below, three small, faint people sit or stand on the ground, looking up. Above the figure, a red carousel spins in midair, with tiny riders. The whole scene feels dreamy and off-kilter, like something from a story. The artist used colored pencils to keep it soft and sketchy, almost like a quick drawing. Look up Jeff Davis to see more of his playful, dreamlike work.
