A black bear wearing a red checkered party hat stands surrounded by a constellation of colorful circles in olive, teal, magenta, red, and blue against a cream background. The composition balances playful whimsy with a vintage collage aesthetic, creating a charming scene that feels both celebratory and gently nostalgic. 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.
