A grid of 24 squares in soft pastels and jewel tones arranges itself into a retro-modern checkerboard, each cell a distinct hue of coral, teal, dusty blue, peach, and sage. The composition balances warm and cool tones with equal rhythm, creating a pattern that feels both playful and orderly, like a vintage color study from mid-century artwork culture. 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.
