A young deer gazes directly forward with delicate ears perked upright, its warm tan coat rendered in soft, naturalistic tones against a pristine white ground. A pale pink bubble expands from its mouth, creating a whimsical contrast that transforms this gentle woodland creature into a playful, unexpected character. 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.
