A soft pink flower with rounded petals and a bold red center floats against a mesmerizing sage green and cream checkered background that warps and ripples like heat waves. The geometric distortion of the checkerboard creates a hypnotic, slightly unsettling optical effect that contrasts with the organic simplicity of the bloom. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
