About this work

This drawing shows a bunch of odd mushrooms with faces. They’re all squat and round, with big dots for eyes and little lines for mouths. Some have stubby legs, others look like they’re sprouting from a blob. The lines are loose and sketchy, almost like doodles. The artist gave these mushrooms human-like features, which makes them look silly and weird at the same time. It’s just pencil on paper, but the faces make it feel alive. Want to see more like this?
