The Reader
A cat sits upon an open book. The text appears to be illegible (since cats as far as we can tell, can not read the written language of humans).

Poster 13 April 2007
This is a three color reduction cut linoleum block print. It was a poster I made advertising the first costumed “Port-O-Party” that Peter and I put together.
