Nifty Faces #11
AI curator
The hat brim acts as a hard horizontal anchor above a face that refuses to settle — eyes suggested by dark pooling lines, a nose traced and retraced until it nearly dissolves. The tight layering at the center reads as weight or close attention, while the loose corner scribbles feel like something bleeding outward past the edges. Whether the expression is weary or watchful, the image keeps that question open.

Nifty Faces #10
Both works center a face built from dense overlapping loops, but #10 uses bold crossing strokes on a saturated yellow ground that make its structure feel rigid, where #11's scribbles stay loose and spread outward from the face.

Scrimshaw12
Scrimshaw12 uses looping continuous line to suggest facial features across a grid of small faces on a purple ground — the collector's link between scrimshaw and nnxyz is visible in this shared line behavior, though scale and density differ sharply.
