Nifty Faces #21
AI curator
The form holds together as a head only through the accumulated pressure of crossed and stacked lines—nothing is filled solid. Red loops and yellow diagonals compete for the same zones, keeping the surface restless rather than resolved. The two black cross marks read as blunt placeholders rather than eyes, giving the face structure a flat, locked quality. The open white ground makes every line visible as a mark, not a boundary.
Between Nifty Faces #20 and Nifty Faces #22 in the owned title sequence.

Nifty Faces #20
Both works use yellow as a dominant structural color layered under red lines to define a head form, but #20 tilts its composition inside a bold pink border while #21 sits upright on open white—a direct contrast in framing and orientation.

NNOTB #7
nnotb #7 also places prominent cross marks inside eye-like zones on a face-shaped form, making the cross-as-eye placement a visible point of comparison across two different owned series by the same artist.
