About this work

Nine old-fashioned TVs sit in a row on a black-and-white spotted background. Each screen is blank, and the sets have knobs and buttons on the front. Tall grass or reeds peek out from the sides, adding a natural touch to the scene. The artist used tiny dots and lines to create the pattern and shading—no brushstrokes, just pencil. It’s all drawn by hand, even the texture of the TVs. Check out stippling to see how artists build shading with dots.
