Nifty Faces #16
AI curator
The yellow field holds everything at the same distance—nothing recedes. Lines shoot outward in hard diagonals, breaking what might be a face into shards that press toward every edge. The two small rectangular zones anchor the center with relative stillness, while the dense pink band below reads as something between a grimace and a shout. The overall feeling is barely contained force rather than collapse.
Between Nifty Faces #15 and Nifty Faces #17 in the owned title sequence.

Scrimshaw 21
Both works place a face-structured composition against a saturated yellow ground, but Scrimshaw 21 keeps lines open and spaced while this work layers them into dense overlapping shards—making ground color the clearest parallel and line density the sharpest contrast.

Nifty Faces #17
nnxyz nifty faces #17 also builds a face from stacked rectangular zones with heavy cross-hatched fills, but its teal ground and more upright block structure contrast with the diagonal shard explosion and yellow field seen here.
