About this work

This drawing looks like a mix of shapes and scribbles. There are round things with lines inside, some blobs that look like faces, and scattered dots everywhere. The whole thing is in black and white, with a light background. The artist used a loose, messy style—like something drawn fast or splattered on. It doesn’t look like a clear picture of anything real. Check out how this was made with lithography.
