About this work

This painting is a simple drawing made with felt-tip pen on paper. It's interesting because it seems to be a mix of words and diagrams, with the title "Forgery Piece" and "Misspelllling" suggesting the artist was experimenting with language. The use of felt-tip pen also gives it a casual, everyday feel. You can learn more about this style by looking up the work of artist Paul Sharits.
