About this work

This image shows a black top hat with white scribbled lines inside it. Above the hat, there’s a bat made of tiny dots, floating as if it’s flying. The background is plain white, but the text around the images looks like legal fine print. The bat and hat are simple shapes, but the way they’re drawn makes them feel strange and unexpected. The tiny dots in the bat give it a fuzzy, almost glowing look. Look up lithography next to see how artists like this one make prints.
