She has embraced the beauty of messy, haphazard illustrations here as she works with [doodled pictures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tissue-box-collection) only.

Melka-Teichroew's Ballpoint Scribble is available by way of the ROLLOUT website which is now showcasing six of these striking pieces.
