A brown bear sits upright on its haunches with one arm raised in a cheerful wave, rendered in soft, muted tones against a pale gray background. The illustration captures the animal in a friendly, almost anthropomorphic pose, with careful attention to the texture of its fur and the gentle expression on its face. 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.
