Medium: Acrylic Size: 11X15"

This was a birthday present for my significant other. The quote is from Umberto Eco's Name of the Rose, but it also references All Cats Are Grey by the Cure (his favorite band). The text was created using a gloss over a matte varnish and it is only visible in certain lights.
