Observations

Across the sheet, playful cartoon characters use thick black outlines, simplified flat color areas, exaggerated expressions, and highly saturated reds, blues, oranges, and pinks. The imagery feels energetic and humorous, while visible brush texture, paint splatters, and rough mural surfaces give the graphic forms a hand-painted quality.
