Weathered baseballs with faded red stitching cluster tightly together, their printed rendering of cream-colored leather surfaces worn from use and time. The illustration captures them in warm, natural light that emphasizes the graphic quality of each ball, creating a dense composition that speaks to the sport's history. 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.
