I really enjoy this image because using basic line to create basic shapes, he made a piece that resembles a whole landscape, when really its just the repetition of line. Its such a beautiful piece while staying very basic and clean. I particularly like the squiggly lines that form a few different circles, the way these lines are shaped give those circles a completely different feel from the rest.

This piece is a good example of how interesting and beautiful simple line can be. Line is one of the most basic concepts in art, being pretty much any mark made on paper, but it can still be amazing all by itself. This piece is interesting because he utilizes line in a way that creates shapes, value, and depth, though it is still only simple line. The way it tracks around the paper keeps you inside the piece and keeps your eye moving.
