A gothic black and white illustration featuring an imposing tower of vintage hardcover books with ornate spine decorations and metal corner guards. A powerful raven with wings partially spread perches commandingly on the summit, surrounded by a wreath of thorned black roses and withered leaves. Delicate ink splatters and floating feathers create movement around the central stack, while torn book pages drift in the composition. The text 'FOREVER' sweeps boldly across the top in distressed serif typography, while 'READING' anchors the bottom with matching gothic letterforms. The illustration employs meticulous crosshatching and stipple shading techniques to render rich textures in the rose petals and leather book covers. Additional ravens in flight and scattered literary symbols like inkwells enhance the bookish gothic atmosphere. The design is print-ready, fully isolated on a white background with no shadows or textures, fully contained within canvas boundaries with no cut-off elements and proper margins around all elements, and intended for use in t-shirt printing. | PODspy AI Design
