About this work

You see a messy page of scribbles, drips, and smudges in red, black, and gray. It looks like someone tested colors or worked out ideas in a hurry. Overby made this in a sketchbook, not as a finished piece. The rawness feels intentional—like he wanted the process to show. It’s more about the act of making than the final look. If you like this kind of loose, experimental work, try looking up gouache. It’s a paint that’s opaque like acrylic but dries fast, great for quick, bold marks.
