A black cat sits centered against a deep sage green background speckled with white dots, its golden eyes gazing directly outward with an alert, knowing expression. A coral-red collar with a small bell adorns its neck, while fine white whiskers extend delicately against its dark fur, creating a portrait of quiet feline presence. 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.
