A worn baseball sits centered against a deep brown background, its cream leather surface weathered and textured with visible red stitching running across both sides. The soft lighting creates subtle dimension on the ball's rounded form, emphasizing its tactile quality and the marks of use accumulated through play. 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.
