About this work

This sketch is packed with tiny drawings. On the left, there’s a comic-style scene with people talking and a woman holding a camera. Above it, a landscape with trees and a bridge. On the right, a spiral of faces and bodies fills a notebook page, along with some doodles of fish and hands. The spiral of faces looks like it’s made by layering lines over and over. It’s almost like a maze of people. The artist filled the whole page with these sketches, like a brain dump of ideas. If you like this mix of comics and strange sketches, check out Jim Shaw.
