A human in the center of a manila bookmark is covered from head to toe in red purple dark lines, in clusters often of 4 to 5 lines. They represent itching and scratching and cover the entire body some in long scratches and itches which go the length of a chin or from a hip down to almost the knee and some in short little bursts. They curve around body shapes, so even though there is nothing underneath them, the way they wrap around things imply the anatomical structures underneath. Some people say these lines evoke muscle diagrams, despite the fact they zig and zag around the body in ways which are not muscular. The hands are dramatically stylized, fingers splayed and holding tension, as if about the begin scratching again.
