A checkerboard pattern in black and white forms the foundation of this playful composition, populated with cheerful yellow smiley faces and white peace signs scattered across the grid. The symbols create a rhythmic, joyful arrangement that feels both nostalgic and contemporary, evoking the optimism of peace movements and retro pop 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.
