A black cat sits in profile with its body wrapped in bold horizontal stripes that create a striking graphic contrast against the warm cream background. The minimalist illustration employs clean lines and high contrast, capturing the cat's alert posture and distinctive whiskers with bold simplicity and compositional balance. 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.
