Duchamp did this almost 80 years before, yet ‘artists’ seem driven by lack or talent or vision to repeat his concept ad nauseam. We saw it throughout the early Britart’ years when anything from a used condom, a dirty bed, or a clay ‘nud’ (read turd) was appreciated and propagandised by the art world as the way forward.

Want to be a judge?.Play with Redditors. It's not a known character. As someone else already said, best I could find was that the art was initially commissioned for Ravnica: City of Guilds, but wasn't used (obviously).The art appears to depict an undead person of some sort who has had his hands removed and replaced with paintbrushes.
The papers scattered around him all have the same symbol on them, though I don't recognize it from anything Magic related.Speculation:It seems probable based on the art and flavor text that the person was a writer or copywriter of some sort who either requested this be done to him upon his death so he could finish his work or had this forced on him because he died with outstanding debts because his work was never completed. Since the art was originally commissioned for Ravnica and the character is marked with the Dimir symbol on their forehead, I'd probably go with the second one.So it seems likely this man is being forced to copy the symbol over and over, ad nauseum, as payment or penance for some kind of crime or to repay some kind of debt.has a bigger version of the art.
