About this work

This drawing shows a pair of open mouths with sharp, exaggerated teeth. The lips are pink, and the teeth are white with black gaps between them. Below, the word "TEETH..." is written in small letters. The artist used a mix of line work and a soft, flat color to make it look simple but odd. The sketch feels more like a quick idea than a finished picture. If you like this style, check out Jim Dine for more of his work.
