A green and cream checkerboard grid warps and undulates across the composition, creating the illusion of a curved, three-dimensional surface that seems to ripple and fold inward. The regular geometric pattern transforms into an optical illusion through subtle distortion, producing a hypnotic, kinetic effect that draws the eye deeper into the center. 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.
