Sinuous vertical stripes in mustard gold, charcoal gray, and cream flow across the composition in a rhythmic ogee pattern, creating an optical rhythm reminiscent of 1950s artwork sensibilities. The interlocking curves build a sense of movement and sophistication, with warm and cool tones balancing each other in a restrained, mid-century palette. 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.
