A golden moon descends through five distinct phases against a layered night sky, each celestial body rendered in warm bronze tones that contrast sharply with the deep blacks and charcoals of the background. The composition uses paper-cut style stratification, with undulating bands of graduated grays creating depth and movement as the moon journeys downward through the darkness. 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.
