Restoration Tapestries
Description: The Ecce Homo (Latin: "Behold the Man") in the Sanctuary of Mercy church in Borja, Spain, is a fresco painted circa 1930 by the Spanish painter Elías García Martínez depicting Jesus crowned with thorns. Both the subject and style are typical of traditional Catholic art. While press accounts agree that the original painting was artistically unremarkable, its current fame derives from a good faith attempt to restore the fresco by Cecilia Giménez, an untrained amateur artist, in 2012. The intervention transformed the painting and made it look similar to a monkey, and for this reason it is sometimes referred to as Ecce Mono (roughly Behold the Monkey, "mono" being Spanish for "monkey").

Description: A sophisticated, retro-themed parody designed for the classic car restoration community, featuring the "Perform-O VIN-Matched Restoration-Grade Authentic Era Blend." This satirical logo targets the high-end collector market with its "Collector Heritage Mix" that is "Guaranteed to Maintain Period Ride" and features technical data like "Batch 004-NOS" (New Old Stock). The design utilizes a refined "antique" color palette of deep tobacco brown, cream, and gold, perfectly complementing the mid-century mascot and elegant script. It’s a humorous take on the obsession with period-correct components, suggesting that even the air in the tires should match the car's production year.
