About this work

This drawing shows a repeating pattern of faces with wild, spiky hair. Each face has a mouth full of colorful pills—yellow, pink, and gray—scattered like teeth. The background is plain, but the pills and hair stand out in bright, flat colors. The artist used printed outlines under the colored pencil, which makes the faces look like they’re stamped out. The pills might be a joke or a weird way to show something about the faces. Check out Michael Magnan to see more of his quirky, colorful work.
