About this work

This print shows three looping words in red: *"I love you."* The letters are handwritten, uneven, and slightly messy. The background is a pale, lined paper texture, like notebook pages. In the bottom corners, there’s a small stamp *"2/175"* and the initials *"LB."* The words feel personal, almost like a note. The red ink stands out against the light background, making it pop. The lines in the paper add a quiet, sketchy feel. If you like this style, check out etching to see how artists use metal plates and acid to make prints.
