A warm tan coffee cup sits centered on a dark charcoal ground, a wooden spoon resting across its rim, with the phrase "But First Coffee" lettered in small white text above. The minimalist composition uses clean lines and a restricted palette to capture a moment of morning ritual with quiet humor and understated elegance. 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.
