A few words about the piece

There’s a moment when you make eye contact with this duck—something shifts. You realize it knows more than it lets on. Maybe it’s judging you. Maybe it’s just waiting for snacks. Either way, it holds its gaze like it’s been through enough critique already. There’s a moment when you meet this duck’s gaze—something shifts. It seems to know more than it admits. Maybe it’s judging you. Maybe it’s waiting for snacks. Either way, it holds that look like it’s seen enough critique already.

Rendered in economical inkwork, the form balances anatomical suggestion with deliberate restraint. It refuses over-explanation. It exists. It dares to be framed.

Doodle Duck isn’t here to impress; it’s here to persist. Minimal and mildly accusatory, it invites you to sit with it—and perhaps yourself—a beat longer than expected.

Some works demand attention. This one waits until you blink.
