Vertical stripes in navy, cream, tan, and black form a rhythmic composition interrupted by two horizontal bands of mustard gold that break the regular pattern. The overlapping linear elements create a sense of controlled tension, with the warm accent stripes drawing the eye across the cool, structured background. 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.
