A black cat with closed eyes and a satisfied expression holds open a bright red book titled "The Art of War," its tail curved upward in contentment. The illustration uses bold, graphic shapes against a soft beige background, combining humor with a minimalist aesthetic that gives the piece a playful, tongue-in-cheek charm. In a home office, study, or any reader's favorite spot for a knowing smile. Made to order by hand at our own Denver facility, it arrives as nine wood panels, each a half-inch thick with a keyhole on the back so it hangs easily. The natural grain shows through the artwork, so no two come out exactly alike.
