About this work

This sketch shows a robot-like figure with a human skeleton inside. Its head is round and smooth, but its body is made of metal parts and gears. Above it, a helicopter floats with a pilot inside, looking down. The artist mixed ink splatters into the drawing, making it look rough and fast. The colors are mostly black, gray, and yellow, with some faint red and blue spots. Check out how this was made using lithography.
