This one of a kind art piece is made from reclaimed aluminum 2mm thick. Its retrofuturistic boomerang shape was hand drawn on the sheet aluminum and hand cut, as is the cat shape and speech bubble. All edges were manually filed smooth. Both the speech bubble and cat are mechanically attached to the backplate which correspond to two hanging attachments-- you can hang this piece in whichever orientation is most pleasing to you.
After the metalwork was completed the entire piece was cleaned and coated with a high fill primer. The space background, astronaut cat and language are entirely hand painted. It is especially enjoyable for me to paint hazy nebula: I use a combination of soft body acrylics and dry blocks of compressed pigment to build up multiple thin layers of paint to create an illusion of depth. The ECLSS (Environmental Control Life Support System, aka spacesuit) has a touch of neon green and shaded baby blue accents. The cat's orange fur is also enhanced with neon paint.
As for what PFC Tambourine is saying, that is unknown to me and up to you to interpret.
Width: 12 3/4 inches. Taken diagonally from the speech bubble and across the spacesuit to what is approximately the widest area.
Height: 9 1/2 inches. Taken from the invisible line between the kitty and speech bubble from top to bottom if the piece is in hanging orientation 2.
