Scrimshaw 21
AI curator
A tilted head is built from angular, overlapping marks on a bright yellow ground. The eyes, nose and toothy mouth remain readable even as their contours multiply. Above them, long strokes fan outward and carry the face's restless energy into the surrounding space. The image holds exuberance and strain together rather than settling into a single expression.

Both use overlapping marks to keep a frontal head recognizable while unsettling its contours. Compare the broad, angular strokes here with the many fine crossings and glasses in nnxyz #1.
