A cheerful dalmatian lounges across a delicate mandala-like pattern, its spotted coat rendered in soft black dots against cream and blush tones. Set against a calming turquoise ground, the illustration carries a gentle, hand-drawn quality with minimal linework that conveys both playfulness and serenity. 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.
