A cream and tan cheetah stands in profile against a soft blue-gray ground, its body angled slightly toward the viewer with head held alert. Dark navy and teal spots scatter across its form in a measured, geometric pattern that feels both naturalistic and stylized, creating a calm, contemplative mood through the muted palette and simplified forms. 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.
