On Canson XL Mixed Media paper drew out the question mark symbol (for the word "question") and inserted the author's name.  Since someone mentioned Twinkling H2O's I pulled out mine and used the "Indian Copper" to paint around Henry's name written with a Unibal Signo .38 deep blue pen. Then wrote the text around it with various colors of Zig and Itoya Calligraphy markers then shadowed with a black .02 Micron pen.

words: The question is not what you look at but what you see.
