A cartoonish digital painting of a figure — a weird lump of a figure, smushed down over his hands, You can see his brown eyes wide behind his big nose. The work is made on a patterned background with muted washy grey and greenish-tan tones, with splashes of blushy and fleshy colors. The line work is black, except for the lines that are white. The figure crowds the whole piece in a blobbish way — there’s a lot of ish to this ish. Art by Doodleslice 2024

A layered image drawn digitally. A female figure stands in front of four floating clouds of different muted colors: blue, red, ochre, and violet. The background is cast in a greenish yellow and grows darker as your eye descends the image. A leaf image repeats across the image in various sizes and hues. There are vertical lines evoking vines or seaweed. There are also blots and splotches and shapes that evoke flower petals or butterflies in simple outlines. Art by Doodleslice 2024
