A black cat with glowing eyes stretches languidly across the top of a towering stack of colorful books against a pale yellow background. The illustration captures a quiet moment of literary sanctuary, with the cat's relaxed posture and knowing gaze suggesting a shared love of reading between feline and human. 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.
