A sleek black cat stretches its lithe body across a cream background, its curved spine and raised haunches captured in bold, confident linework with a distinctive white stripe down its back. The composition is framed by a soft turquoise checkerboard border that adds a mid-century modern touch, while the hand-drawn quality and muted palette create an intimate, whimsical mood. 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.
