A weathered lifeguard tower with faded red and turquoise paint stands sentinel on a soft pink sand beach, its "Keep Off" warning visible on the wooden structure. Beyond the tower's geometric railings, a pier stretches into calm waters under an overcast sky, rendered in muted pastels that evoke a nostalgic, sun-bleached California coast. 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.
