On confirming with www.maxistudy.com of the source and owner of it, I found a non-existing link. In absenzia I want to honour Peter Loughlin of Rocket Reader whose name appeared at the art. If we ever come into contact, I will tell him I was inspired by his work and requested to use it for our community Organisation logo (Ufahamu Group). It will be my pleasure to know more about what inspired the designer.

With Thanks.
