Thick black horizontal lines stack across the upper two-thirds of a light ground, their edges slightly rough and hand-drawn, creating a sense of quiet rhythm and repetition. Below them sits a solid dusty blue rectangle, a warm muted tone that anchors the composition and introduces calm against the graphic intensity above. 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.
