The face floats against open blue like something surfacing. Dense purple scribble builds the head's mass, while thin red and cyan lines escape outward, loosening the boundary between figure and field. The doubled mouth reads as uneasy—grinning and grimacing at once. Fewer layers and more bare ground leave the head exposed, as if it arrived before its surroundings could fill in.

Scrimshaw5
Scrimshaw5 shares the zigzag-teeth mouth and spiral eyes but buries them under denser color fills on yellow, making this work's sparse blue ground a stark contrast.

NNOTB #1
Both use a light blue background with face-like forms showing bared teeth, but the nnxyz work packs multiple figures and far more line density into the same space.
