A woman leans in to kiss the face of a large lion with a deeply furrowed brow and irritated expression, captured in striking black and white photography. The lion's magnificent mane fills the frame while his closed eye and wrinkled nose convey an almost comical reluctance, creating a surreal moment of affection meeting animal defiance. 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.
