A stylized vase with curved handles sits centered against a soft blue ground, its body composed of a bold black and cream checkerboard pattern that dominates the composition. The vessel's geometric form is anchored by a dark navy base and topped with a warm brown rim, creating a striking balance between pattern and solid color with cool and warm tones throughout. 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.
