It is simply known as Number II. His drawings are often mistaken as photographs. Parker has said because of the 3D quality of his work he feels like he is working on a sculpture instead of a two dimensional drawing.
Ariadni Liokatis, Curator at the USC Fisher Museum of Fine Art, said of Parker's work,
"Defined by geometry and exquisitely and masterfully executed, (his) works possess a visually commanding character combined with quiet subtle elegance while also endowed with poetic quality."
The drawing is float mounted in a custom maple frame. It is double signed. There is a 'window' on the back of the piece showing the second signature along with the artists notes on additions to the drawing. less
