A black cat stretches downward in a playful, elongated pose against a cream background, its tail curved elegantly overhead and its expression alert and mischievous. The composition is framed by a soft turquoise checkerboard border, creating a retro, whimsical quality that feels both modern and timeless. 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.
