A monochromatic halftone portrait of a person composed of grid-aligned dots, with alphanumeric coordinates along the top and left margins, resembling a graph or chart.
Illustration of a stylized woman with blonde hair and red lips partially submerged in water, with abstract shapes and vibrant colors forming a background that includes green, yellow, and red arcs.
A blank beige paper with a slightly darker border, displayed against a light gray background with two cut-out notches on the bottom and right side, creating a non-rectangular shape.
Detailed black and white illustration featuring a bear on the upper half and a collection of objects and an animal on the lower half. The bear is depicted in profile, walking to the right with a textured fur pattern. Below, there are three separate images: a pile of bones to the left, a hand grenade in the center, and a trash can overflowing with garbage to the right of the grenade. Adjacent to the trash can is a bird, possibly a starling, standing in profile facing left. The images are bordered by simple lines, separating the bear from the items below.
A minimalist graphic artwork featuring a square divided into four smaller squares, each filled with closely spaced parallel lines in different orientations, on a plain white background.
A minimalist artwork featuring a series of vertical pink lines against a pale background, with the words "praise - a - matin" handwritten in the lower right corner.
A square piece of paper with a ruler border printed along two adjacent edges, showing measurements in centimeters and millimeters. The paper has a textured appearance with small, colored fibers throughout.
A black and white illustration depicting a series of houses and buildings arranged in a line that ascends diagonally across the image, creating a perspective of a steep hill or a roller coaster-like structure. The buildings appear to be drawn in a detailed, sketch-like style, and the ground is textured with parallel lines. The sky is blank, and there are a few small figures and objects at the base of the hill, suggesting a distant view. Shadows are cast to the right of the buildings, giving the impression of a light source from the left.
A hand-drawn sketch featuring a collection of objects: an open cube, a desk with an attached shelf, a door partially ajar revealing a patterned rug behind it, a series of parallel lines, and a woven basket. The drawing is in black ink on a white background.
