The lines curve subtly at the edges, creating a gentle bulge that gives the flat pattern a sense of soft dimensionality and playful movement. 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.
