A black cat sits centered against a warm rust-orange background, its dark fur rendered in textured marks that suggest depth and dimension. The cat's pale golden eyes gaze directly forward with an almost knowing expression, its whiskers and pink collar creating delicate accents against its shadowed face. 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.
