You know, it's strange, but for a Gringo-Greek, all white dude, I'm actually a pretty big Reggae fan. My favorite are the oldies though, Johnny osbourne "Groovin" Althea and Donna "Uptown Ranking." Very nice piece of art you got there!

Not too many ol' Kentucky white guy reggae fans either. Huge fan of Peter Tosh, probably my favorite. I listen to reggae all the time.
I've had it playing in the background during parties at the house and even my dad said he enjoyed it.

Nice piece, what are the dimensions?
Do you have plans to have it framed?

It came from a company called Fine Art America (where artists from around the globe can sell their stuff). It is an aluminum sheet with a wood backing so it's lifted off the wall, no framing required. I could have elected a framed one, but this just looks too cool. Its even more vibrant in person, the pic does no justice.
