This painting shows a bare tree on the left and a lumpy, shadowy shape on the right. The background is just off-white paper. The tree is drawn in thick black lines, and the other shape is mostly gray with black outlines. At the bottom, the words "NOT VITAL" are written in small black letters. The artist used loose, sketchy lines instead of detailed drawing. The title is actually *Untitled*—the words are a joke about the painting’s name. Check out Not Vital for more of his playful, simple art.
