A black cat's head and ears peek above the bottom edge of a soft blue-green rectangle, its round eyes gazing directly forward with quiet curiosity. The minimalist silhouette against the pale turquoise ground conveys both playfulness and gentle watchfulness, rendered in pure black with luminous white eyes that anchor the composition. 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.
