The vintage collage aesthetic combines sepia-toned portraiture with hand-painted geometric shapes, creating a whimsical tension between scientific observation and artistic wonder. 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.
