Art Work

   Jack wandered through the art gallery before alighting on a work by Montano.  On the wall hung a large piece of white poster paper adorned with crudely scrawled doodles and vaguely discernible characters.  A line was drawn across the center, which Jack assumed was the side profile of a table.  Above this table were the words "Whatchya gonna do, n industry."  As Jack moved closer to the poster, he noticed a smiling, self-portrait of the artist standing on the table next to a spider.  Despite the limited level of detail afforded by the medium, the expression Montano had given his likeness conveyed things that were hard to decipher.
