A stylized lion with a geometric mane rendered in golden yellow stripes dominates the composition, its simple face featuring dot eyes and a whisker line. Black hearts float above the lion's head against vertical striped bands, creating a playful, affectionate mood grounded in a restrained, graphic illustration style. 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.
