The present invention relates to an article and its manufacture for use as a dry erase media. In particular, the invention provides for an article that has permanent and transient indicia or artwork. The transient indicia or artwork is applied to a topmost surface of a substrate using dry erase inks, and the permanent indicia or artwork is applied to the lowermost surface of the substrate. The substrate itself is transparent or translucent to allow both transient and permanent indicia or artwork to be viewed simultaneously as a single apparent image that is informationally interactive.
