A black and white dog with pointed ears gazes upward against a bold red background, its noble profile rendered in detailed engraving style. Below, a diagonal composition splits into red lettering reading "LAIKA" and a deep blue section scattered with trajectories of spacecraft and Earth's curve, capturing the optimism of early space exploration. 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.
