A golden lion sits peacefully with closed eyes and a gentle smile, its head crowned with a large circular mane divided into jewel-toned segments of emerald, sapphire, ruby, coral, and black. The warm cream background and the lion's serene expression create a sense of quiet self-assurance, rendered in a cheerful, graphic illustration style. 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.
