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 printed rendering of 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.
