About this work

This sketch shows three odd, stick-figure-like people tangled in a weird scene. One is holding a flower, another is bent over a giant, lumpy chair, and the third leans against a wall with a hat and coat. The lines are loose and wobbly, like they were drawn fast. The artist used simple shapes and dark lines to make everything look both funny and a little off. The people’s faces are barely there, just a few quick marks. Want to see more like this?
