A figure with a voluminous black afro adorned with a golden crown sits in contemplative repose against a rich teal background, one hand raised thoughtfully to their face. The composition blends grayscale portraiture with luminous metallic accents, creating a striking contrast between the muted tones of the figure and the jewel-toned ground. 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.
