The Oregonian




Michael A. Jarvis, the artist, writes: "Art for Ape's Sake! (20% of all sales goes to support The Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project to help save gorillas in the wild) This drawing of a newspaper reflecting into the top of a French press was heavily influenced by Escher. The challenge of rendering a three dimensional reflection using only charcoal, some pastels and coloured paper was to hard to pass."
