Scrimshaw 40
AI curator
Heavy black lines carve a nose bridge and brow, but color escapes everywhere—cyan curls at the throat, magenta along the jaw, yellow above the crown. The white X over one eye area can read as a cancellation or a wound. The open red mouth, with its crude teeth, holds something between a shout and a grin, leaving the mood unresolved. A flat gray field isolates the figure starkly.
Between Scrimshaw 33 and Scrimshaw 41 in the owned title sequence.
