A stylized blackbird rendered in solid charcoal silhouette takes flight against a warm cream ground, its wings spread and layered with sharp, geometric angles that suggest motion and energy. The composition captures the bird in profile with a small white eye that anchors the piece, balancing the bird's angular forms with a single moment of softness. 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.
