[A close-up view of a line drawing in black pen on brown-toned paper in a light wooden frame. The drawing is of a person with tightly coiled curly hair resting in bed while looking at an Apple brand laptop. The figure lays on a pillow with their head propped up by their hand. Their face is mostly obscured by the laptop revealing only one eye. Their body is covered in a blanket. The folds of the blanket take up half of the surface of the drawing.]
