Description

Physical Description:

An abstract print in black, a figure standing on a trash can reaches towards an open book that has lips and is holding a wand with a star on the end with more stars around it. The figure leans over a winking cat that is reaching towards a wind-up mouse, and balloons with clocks telling different times drift in the background, each carrying a rolled paper or an open book. One of these open books is prominent in the lower left corner and depicts a four-legged animal with a tail.
