A black cat with closed eyes and a satisfied expression holds open a bright red book titled "The Art of War," its tail curved upward in contentment. The illustration uses bold, graphic shapes against a soft beige background, combining humor with a minimalist aesthetic that gives the piece a playful, tongue-in-cheek charm. 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.
