A sprawling aerial view of Chicago's dense skyline rises toward the horizon, with the glassy towers of downtown catching warm golden light against a soft turquoise lake and pale sky. The composition captures the geometric precision of the urban grid, where countless rectangular buildings stretch outward in warm tones of cream, tan, and burnt orange, creating a sense of measured grandeur and metropolitan scale. 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.
